Default Rearend Gear ratios?

My build is coming a long slowly, but right now I'm getting ready to purchase my rearend. I'm planning on getting a 12 bolt, but I'm just wondering on what gears you guys would recommond? The car is a 67 camaro, it will be running an 427 LS1 (more than likely) with an M6 behind that. It will see a good amount of time on the street as well as the track. Any suggestions?

Thanks

4.11s or even 4.56s would work real nice, especially with the double overdrive of the M6

But as far as my dad's conversion is going he has 2.73s - lookout silver state classichere we come
