If you go 3:73, that would almost be like a 26" tire with stock 3:23 gearing.
I went 4:11 on my car with the 275/60 DR.

If you are only going to spin your motor to 6500 you are leaving some et on the table. That cam need to be spun to 6900 -7000 to take advantage of it's powerband. If you are going to run n/a then 4.10 -4.30 or if you plan on spray then 3.73 -4.10.

According to the gear calc I use the 28 inch tire with 3.73s is 3.40, that's what I'm planning on changing to

I run the same cam and tire, 4.10 would be my choice.
