Any time on the freeway ?
What is the longest distance you anticipate driving frequently on the streets ?

we take the car to car shows i say 30 to 50 miles maybe more
call up the gear companys and tell them what you want to do what rpm you want to turn they can help you figure it out

you didn;t say which trans and car type 8)
but--with an automatic 3;73 or 3;91 would be a good combo----with a clutch 3;23 or 3;50 would work good
go to high and your engine combo will SUFFER TERRIBLY :oops:

Tall tires = tall gearing. The land speed racing guys bolt on the tallest tire they can turn.
