Default 3.55 or 3.42

I had a 700R4 on my 65 Goat and with that annoyingly low first gear of 3.06, it was super revy around town with 3.73 - I dropped down to 3.55 and about right, especially with big tires.

if you have more stock tires, I'd say 3.42 is perfect.

Just my experience.

Remember that 3.06 is made to get a heavy truck or SUV rolling from a dead stop, gets a little annoying in a GTO for driving in stop and go traffic, and you can't start off in 2d.
