even as a street car he may have a top speed or max acceleration he wants to achieve. my buddy has a street only car (making over 800 hp to the rear wheels) so far and is changing the gearing so it has a top speed over 210mph in 5th... but with a 28" tall tire and wanting max acceleration in a drag race, street driven or not, a 4.30 gear might be better, depending on max rpm and would still have decent top speed over all in overdrive.
That all being said the 3.73 is a good all around gear that won't have the car geared too high or too low if 70rs doesn't have any other specific goals in mind.
