Say you have a 650-700hp motor going in your car and plan to spray a progressive 300 shot on it.
Car allready has a 10 point cage. Will more then likley go with a WOLFE mini tub.
What tire/rear suspension would you go with. Gear would be a 4.XX. Thinking 4.11 or 4.56
Big tire, QA1, adjustable everything with a WOLFE weld in drag sway bar and mad man torque arm?
Car will have a full spooled 9 inch rear with a TH-400 on a brake and Neil Chance stall.
4 link safer?
Not very educated on the 4 link stuff.
Would like to stick with a 10.5 tire.

A lot of variables. BUT let me try to help.
Assuming - by your post - you'll be done 1K rwhp?
You can go to my web site for my suspension set up. Basically I have 1K at my wish. My rear suspension consists of: MadMan LCA, Wolfe sway bar, Excessive AutoSport TQ Arm, QA1's, built Moser 9". My launch will be at 1-2lbs of boost - about 650-700hp.
I'll be running a 30x10.5x15 Hoosier; and trying out the M/T 315 Street Radial and a 30x10.5W tire.
I believe you'll fin that you'll have to go down to the 3.55 series gear. UNLESS you intend on run 32" or bigger tires.

Here, use this calculator for your gears. It's not 100% but close. Leave room to grow.

With a 3400 pound car (molly cage, 9 inch, TH-400), 950hp, 6000rpm threw the finish and a 28 inch tall tire is put me at:
8.9@153 3.27 gear 5.67 in the 1/8th
I went a little on the heavy side I think and consevative on the power.
3300 pounds, same tire, same RPM and another 50hp got me 8.73@157 3.18 gear 5.56 in the 1/8th
Still just seems small to me.

I put your numbers in at 6800 rpm trap. Calls for 3.7 gears. So, giving a little room, 3.55's should work.

Was just being conservative to give me an idea
