Default 3.42 or 3.23 for turbo?

I searched but most are running bigger tires, etc. I got a m6 which I currently have 4.10's. not taking to track much just street driving and freeway. overall which you guys suggest? I'm leaning towards 3.42 which were stock anyways. I would be getting a used rearend to swap out with.

thanks

All depends on your tire size and anticipated power level. Many more questions need to be answered.

What transmission? power goals? Street strip? Highway driving? Tire size? Traction adders?? These all play a big part of the whole set up. I personally have used 3.42 gears with a th350 and loved it. Had good traction out of the hole and decent highway crusing gear.
