Default Moving to a 9 inch...

Im planning on selling my moser 12 bolt and moving to a narrowed 9inch. My question is what gear ratio should I get... I currently have a 3.73 and the car needs fourth gear before the line at the end of the 1/8.... (thats on motor) My nitrous will be hooked up and I plan on going up to 300 shot but starting with a 200. On a 200 hit the car should make around 700rwhp. I was thinking about going down to 3.2x gearing. I want to try and get throught the 1/8 in three gears not four, and launch good keeping the tires on the ground. The car is mostly a street car but goes to the track once a month roughly. Thoughts suggestions???

I would do a few gear calculators and see what will be your best option. Your tire size and engine rpm range will make a difference.
