I agree with Radster. Depends on what you want. Street car with some power-3.27's. Street strip car-3.55's or 3.73's. Strip car-4.10's. Thats my opinion, and not necessarily the popular opinion, but everybody seems to think bigger is better. Except my wife, thank God. Your right though the lower your gear, the faster you will run thru your power band. And you'll be driving around town half way thru your power ban all the time. By the way, there won't really be that much difference in the 3.55's and the 3.73's. Couple hundred rpm's.
