Default What kind of gears for my midwest 9" rear?

'm slowly upgrading parts in my ws6 and it's time to change gears now that i have a new intake and throttle with everything else already done to it: 3500 stall, cam, ls1 ported heads, lt headers, exhaust, and new tires. but to tell you the truth i have no clue on what i should do for my gears. it has motive 3.70 gears in at the moment... THANKS FOR THE HELP!

Need to know more info. Plans for the car(drag racing I assume with the 3500 stall) what rpm thru the traps tire size all that stuff needs to be in your thread before an answer can be given.

Eric will be shipping mine next week. After speaking with him I decided to go fo 3.50 (thats what he's got in his). My new setup includes fully forged 396, perfomabuilt L2 with 3500 billet converter, and ofcourse a Midwest rear. Mines a DD, and I think it will save around 600rpm on the motorway compared to a 3.70..
Wish I lived over there... Shipping was a killer............
Hope this helps you decide...
