Default 800rwhp 800rwtq

What would be the best all around gear and stall in this C5 corvette. built 4l60e A4? Would like to beat one of those monster supras on the highway.
What would be the Ideal racing rpm range based on this chart?
4000 to 6500 rpm?
4500 to 6000 rpm?
2.73 or 3.42?
Torque plays a huge part in this one.
This not my car, but if I could get enough feedback this could be my ideal setup.

I'd go with the 2.73's. With that much torque you don't need much torque multiplication anyway.

Stall I'd stay around 2800. Keep in mind thought that with that much torque you could easily blow through the converter if you can hook it. Running road race tires you might hook it but probably not. You may want to consider a pair of Mickey Thompson ET Radials. That'll hook up and plant it.

RPM range I'd think you'd want to bring it up to 7000RPM with a sweet spot of 4500-6500.
