Who told you that? There is no "way to go". It depends on your setup and what you want to do with the car. If there was a way to go, everybody would run the same gear. This is why you see everything from 2:73-4:56 or lower...

personally, throw some 4:10s in there.

No they usually do not come with the speedo unless you find some special deal.

I am going with 4:30s if that tells you anything.

If you have an automatic I would go with the 4.10's.. If it is a manual I would do the 3.73's

i heard arguments again and again with 3.73's and 4.10's.......i like 4.10's but i think people get the misconception of them not giving you enough top end when you put them in a car with a 3 speed tranny. I had them in with a t-5 and i can do about 60mph at 2000rpm...not to bad.

4.10's BABY WHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

eBay- My expirence Precesion turbo 74GTS - $510.00 - A smaller turbo may be even cheaper, better yet a pair of SVO or t-bird turbos, 42lb injectors, Mass air meter, air to air IC, fuel pump. Buy a case of beer for a buddy who can fab the rest of the turbo system. I know it's a stretch. I fab my own systems on the weekend so this is just my opinon on what to do with 1k. You can even run it as a hot car until you save for an intercooler and pick up a fmu instead of the Mass air meter and injectors. Turbos love stock gears too.
