that's the good thing about a 9", theres so many options about gear ratios, i think the 3.00 gear or 3.25 would be a good choice for ya

If you decide you want a 300 gear I have an original Ford set that is in very good condition. The OEM Ford gears are the best you can get. I wish I had something that I could put them in.

I would go with a set of Motive 3.70 gears for a 28 tall tire and 700+ rwhp.

I had 3.70 gears in my Camaro, shown here. Bob

I have roughly 650 rwhp, 28x10.5x15s slick, 370 Motives in a Moser 9. I go low 1.3s at 33350lbs, gears are as quite as stock. Bob knows his stuff!
