Is 3.42 a good Turbo Gear?

2011 RCSB 5.3 6L80E 3.42, wanting to go Turbo with this build and hit 500+RWHP. Wondering if I should stay with the 3.42 or move up to 3.73 or 4.10 gears?

IMO, with that 6speed auto, i wouldn't change it.

you will load up faster with the taller gear. Keep the 3.42

Well I think I'm gonna stay with the 3.42's, from everything I can find it seems to be a match for my setup & what I want. Thanks everybody.
