I would say 3.42's as well for you... the lowest I'd go would be 3.73's with about a 30" tire... you gotta be able to let the turbo do its thing and build boost and be effective.

My buddy is a Turbo Buick guy. He gained MPH going from 3.73's to 3.42's and found 4 tenths in the 1/4 with that 4mph...

Turbo's like less gear (usually) since they make tremendous mid range TQ...

I was planning on going witha 3600 for my 6l/sts gt67 setup with 3.73s and 30" tires
