For what goal? Absolute quickest ET without regard to drivability? A good compromize between track and street? Maximum MPG? Stock engine? Heads/cam car? What cam? Etc.... NEED MORE INFORMATION!

I think I will have a very good street setup with my TCI 3500 and 3.73s but it depends on what you want your car to do, cant wait for the install.

I'd use the stock gearing (especially if you have 3.23s to begin with) and a good hard hitting 3500-3800 stall.

I'd recommend a TCI SSF3500 or a Yank SS3800 (maybe an SS3600 if you have 2.73 gears.)

i pulled a 1.66 60 foot with a 3400 stall and 3.42s on a 17 inch drag radial...this combo is GOOD on the street too!

just my opinion, but i think 3.42s are a damn good ratio for an auto street car......plenty of go and no turning ridiculous RPM on the highway...
