It's a toss as to what you prefer. The TopLoader will handle up to 1000 HP ( as I understand it ) but has NO overdrive. So the last ratio is 1:1.

If you have a good supply of power and are more into highway acceleration, you might want to keep the rear end in the 3.23 to 3.55 range. If you want to push your mate into the seat, try a 3.89 to 4.11 ( or more if you do not mind the very high Rs you will turn to drive ).

This is a "think about what you are going to do" question.

Personally I run a 3.5 Posi 9" rear with a BIO close ratio Toploader.

Just my $0.02
