Re: what gears should I run in a 9" Depends on how much driveability you can stand to lose with a steep gear, your tire size, your max RPM, and your expected trap speed.
FWIW, a 26" tire and 3.70 gear is good for 136mph @ 6500rpm assuming no drivetrain slippage (not really a factor for you since you have a M6), and no tire growth.
There's a handy gear/speed/rpm calculator here.

Re: what gears should I run in a 9" hoping to trap at 125-128, also I want to be about to drive anywhere on street. With 3.70 gear and shifting around 6200 will I have to shift to 5th.
