3.00 or 3.50 rear gear?

[fatride]

Going Ford 9in. rearend. My question is about gearing. I will be using a race built Th350 trans, and be using 325/50/15 DR's I think these tires are just under 28" tall. How will the 3.00 gear work? It's behind a Stage II motor..
Thanks

Its going to be mostly street driven, spun to about 7K/ 7200K when at the track.

I loved the 3.50 in my 9" behind my stout 109. Only need about 6200 with 28" tires.

I think it depends on what you want to do with the car. 3:00's would be great for every day driving and good mileage (especially with a TH350 which doesn't have overdrive), but 3:50's are closest to stock (3:42) and should give you better 60 ft. times but with higher rpm's on the top end...
