best rear-end gear for TH-700R4/28" tire combo? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 68 currently has a 3.08 rear gear as I was originally going to run a TH-350. Now I am going to use a TH-700R4 and was wondering if I should stick with the 3.08, or go with 3.73, or even 4.11? I have read on some other forums that 4.11 would be too much with the 3.06 1st gear of the 700R4.

I am running a mostly stock 350 crate motor with a small Comp Cams stick, a 600 Edelbrock, and a 28" rear tire. Since it is not a hot motor, I just want good bottom end (for the motor I have) and good highway driveability.
