Gear ratios and forced induction

Everyone will prob suggest 3.73 for a 4l60e or if you go 4l80e then 4.10 for your situation.

keep the 3.23's if your going turbo.... I have a 30" tall tire with a th400 and 3.42's, i have thought about going to a 3.08 or so but i might just to to a taller tire if i ever go slicks.... No need to change out to a 3.42 when you can just run a smaller tire like a 28" and down to act as a shorter gear ratio.... Just my opinion and ive had quite a few sets of gears to know lol

i love a lot of gear, but turbo and a 30" or smaller tire i wouldn't want any more than a 3.42. decide what you want in the future. turbo= 3.42, blower=4.10, na= 4.56. just my opinion. 4.56 may also work w/ blower. loved them in my na truck.

Keep the 3.23's...if you go turbo and keep the 60e you will thank me! Lol. I even have 3.23's with my 80e and love them. Loads turbo incredibly fast..helps with traction and long enough gear that it pulls forever.

Kazfan,
Why keep the 60e? It seems as though the conventional wisdom dictates that the 80e is far more durable. Do you think it would be better to get the drivetrain on order ahead of time or rock my current 60e, g80 and 3.23s and replace them as they are destroyed?
