Default Turbo w/ powerglide, what rear gear?

3000lb car, forged 5.7 w/ 317s, e85, can only fit a 26" tire (swapped import)

im limited to a 3.54, 3.69, and a 4.08 gear for the factory IRS rear end

car currently has the 4.08 in it to match the NA big H/C setup w a 4L60

Probably either a stock 1.76 or 1.80 aftermarket gear set.

I am with Wheelsup. 3.54 although I'd be tempted to try the 3.69 if it was an 1/8th mile deal.

forgot to add, going with 76-80mm turbo, want it to run to the 1/4

i've been tempted to stick in a ford irs or do a solid rear conversion, but these nissan rears hold and obviously just a gear change is gonna save the wallet big time
