If you are primarily going to be driving the car around town, you might want to be in the 3.54 range. Otherwise, you will have a hard time getting the car out of second gear. Go to the second strike gear calculator and run some transmission and rear end combinations through it and se how the rpms are at a given speed. Remember, most of the engines that we use do not like chugging along at 1500 rpms. They pretty much need to be in the 2,000 and above range.
