Default 3.55 or 3.73 gears for Viper T56 / 26" tires

Hey Guys, I'm trying to decide what gears to run in my car. I currently have 3.08s / Viper T56 with the following ratios:

1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th Rev
2.66:1 1.78:1 1.30:1 1.00:1 0.74:1 0.50:1 2.90:1

I'm running the Michelin Pilot Super Sports: 295/30/19 @ 26"

Using the Tremec calculator

@ 2000rpm, 3500rpm, & 5000rpm I get the following speeds. The variation at my power band is only 5 - 7mph

My goal is to have improved hookup for the auto-x, and stronger pull in the 4th / 5th gear for the high speed track events.

I'd appreciate your thoughts....
