I have a 79 with a 4l80e running 32" tires , the minimum gear ratio that I would use would be 4.10. If you are wanting a bit more giver..., I would definitely not hesitate to go 4.56. Currently I have 3.73's and spin 1850 at 60, that is a little low in my opinion, I for sure would take 4.10 in a heart beat.

So that in mind you have some numerical data to crunch to where you want to be gear wise.
