Another recommend me gears thread!
Im putting together my 408 ci. I will be running a s480 turbo, with t56 magnum and 9 inch rear. Looking to make 800 rwhp if I can. Need a recommended gear. I was thinking 3.50's but I just not sure with it being manual and big turbo. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Most of the people I have dealt with in similar combos have run the 3.25 or 3.50 gears. Really depends on your tire size/type and engine RPM range.
Give me a call when you're ready for the 9" rear. I have the best prices and expert knowledge on any rearend combo you want!

Turbo cars don't typically need much gear...
When you say mostly track car do you mean 1/4 mile , 1/8 mile , road course ,etc... They will all have different needs.
If drag race - figure what you expect the car to be trapping and figure which ratio puts you at the top of 4th as you go through the traps on the tire rollout/height you expect to be running on the rear leaving a margin for error that you can make final adjustments to with rear tire height if need be to dial it in.
