In my last car, I had the same engine, cam, trans, and a 3.70 rear. I loved it. At 70mph, I turned 1650rpm and could drive in 6th all the way down to 1200rpm.

Really it comes down to the overall intent of the car. Mine was mostly street driven and I really liked the combo. My previous car had a LS1 with a maggie on it with 4.10's and the .5 t56. I had 410 ft/lbs at 2000rpm and I liked that setup also.

With these cars, it really comes down to getting a really good tune, after that, they like almost any gear you put in it!
