Considering both the weight of your car and the trans your going to use I would say a set of 3.73s would be great maybe a tad higher but not to much more. You stated it is a mild small block, if you gear it to high you will be in an rpm range where you dont make your power. I suggest to most with typical 5.0(302)set ups to go with 3.55 or 3.73 as they are both great for daily driving but you can really get up and go. If you go with a bigger cam, a set of ported heads with bigger valves and a stroker set up I might reccommend more gear but your set up as it is would unsuitable for big gears.
