Is this a drag-only setup or will it see a significant amount of street driving?

From what I've gathered, turbos like a little higher gear than an NA setup.

my car I went with 3.25 gears, 302 cu in with a single 475 and ptc 3600 stall, works great on the street and no excessive slipping, but 3400lb car with 26 tires.. went 9.55@148 off the street and drove it home..
I would think a 3.73 or 3.90 gear would be good for what you want.
