Default 3.70 or 3.55 for Turbo LT1

Ive got 4.11's in the back now from my old supercharged setup. So im going with either 3.70's or 3.55's...which is better for a 6speed car that revs only 6200? Ill be running 26 inch street tires 99% of the time..Just seeing what everyones preference is.

Also my wastegate is too small, so will changing the gears accentuate this? Meaning it has trouble keeping the boost down at WOT in 5th gear..its supposed to stay at 12psi but creeps to 14 or so..will this make it happen in say 4th or 3rd now since there is more load with the taller gears?

3.55's if you're going to be on 26's.

Yes to your question about load. It should see peak boost sooner thus creeping sooner.
