1st - 4th pull very strong 5 & 6 Freeway only. A LOT of FUN to drive
I was running 3.73 in my 12 bolt when I originally was running my 4l60 and it was a great setup. I went to the T56 and felt the need for the 4.11 because of the double overdrive. It was a blast to drive with that gearing so I would recommend it.
Now I am at a 4l80 and not liking the 4.11 so much lol and may eventually swap back to the 3.73. I would like your 3.50 but in my 12 bolt it is not much option...
