Default t78 ls1 m6 street car gears?

hi, i have been dead set on a procharger but now considering a t78 turbo. still havent decided yet. if i do go turbo, what gears will i need to switch to? right now i run 4.11s in my 9". my car is a cammed(232/240 115lsa) M6 with 275/40/17 tires. it's mostly a street car but it sees some track time in the summer.

Good choice I think 3.42 with 28' tires is too much unless its 800+rwhp car


275-40-17 is 26' tall right??

Anything from a 3.23 to a 3.73 would work fine and be fun with a 26" tire.
