Default Gearing advice

Ok guys, I have an RS with the original 327 but beefed up a little bit and a 4 speed. I need to redo the rear differential and I am trying to figure out the best way to gear it. Looking for a daily driver feel with a little extra power. Any recommendations, what have Youguys tried and how did it drive?

I take it you are talking about a 1st-Gen Camaro? If so, is the 327 a 2bbl or 4bbl? If a 4bbl, a rear gear somewhere in the mid-3s would allow that SBC to wind-out as intended. If a 2bbl, something in the low 3s would be an improvement with what probably came stock in the high 2s without allowing it to run out of breath to keep up with traffic on the highway.
