I would say 3.73-4.10 depending on hp levels how high you want to rpm and such. I take it from the 6 speed richmond highway car so would lean harder towards the 3.73's

What gears to run? all depends on what you plan on doing with the car.
anywhere from 3.42-4.10's could be good.

i plan on using it for street racing, not so much for drag. back home there really are no spots to drag around my parents house, nothing but curvey mountain roads
