new and got a couple questions

Alright guys heres the deal... I have a 1970 gmc pictured below and want to set it up for drag raceing 1/4 mile. so far my best time has been 14.05 and i know i have around 3:11 or so gearing in the rear end. it also a one wheel wonder. i have the motor built as well as a built tranny in it. the motor has been dyno'd at 400-450 hp motor alone . now i want to run in the low to mid 11's for starters and go from there. i have a 100 shot nitrous avaliable and am running only a 2200 stall convertor right now. so im thinking going with a 3200 stall ( because motors dyno sheet showed 3500-6200 is the power range) and putting in a different rear end with different gearing. so my question is ... Am i on the right track in this thinking? If so whats the best gearing for these trucks and what rearend? ford 9", chevy 12 bolt??? also wondering if i should go 4:11 or 4:55 whats yalls experience and any other advice is welcome and needed. Also going to be putting fuel tank in the bed as well and getting it out of the cab.
