Depends on the horsepower level and tire height. The faster you go the lower the gear ratio you need so as not to over rev the motor. Example; with a 26" tall tire and 100mph trap speeds 3.73's would be perfect for the motor if redline was in the low 5000's. Trap at 120mph (nitrous) and you'll either be using overdrive, a taller tire, or chucking rods through the block!
