Question Gearing for 37's???

I'm planning on buying some 37" tires for my 12v, I use it as a daily driver around town to drive to school and work. id say about 50/50 for city and freeway use. I'm building this truck for prerunning as well so I wanted a good gear for prerunning and not to kill me around town. I have stock 3.55 in the rear as of now. What do you think would be the best gear in the rear so I'd still have power and responsiveness to the throttle?

Thanks Everyone!

if you can tune your afc right, and have a fast spooling turbo, try out your stock 3:55s. if i could go back and not buy 4:10s and keep 3:55s i pry would

really? sounds like you have or had some 37s on your truck? I have my truck adjusted nicely and its real quick. how do you feel about your set-up that makes you wonder about leaving the 3.55 with 37s if you dont mind me asking?

That's a hell of a deal for me since buying one would cost a lot. Only problem is that my truck is my only vehicle and I use it everyday for either work or school. Since you're so far I know my truck and prob yours to would be outta commission for at least a week waiting for our parts to ship to each other. I reply appreciate the deal though. Thanks for the offer, but I don't know if it would work out.
