Turbo gears

Im going to be changing my setup to a 76 turbo in a little while and was wondering which gears i should go with? I want the best gears for the track because i only do 1/4mile racing, I love the 4.56's now but i heard they wont load the turbo good? So i was wondering what gears I should go with like 3.42's or 3.73's? Remember i want the best acceleration.Thanks for the help in advance.

I would say about 3.50. That gives the Turbo plenty of spool range.

Yeah I'm currently running 4:10 gears with my turbo-setup and it seems like the turbo does not have enough time to spool up. I recently have a moser 9" with 350 gears going in this summer - hopefully that sloves the problem.
