Good gear ratio for a turbo?

[Blizzard242]

So, I was told to keep a lower gear ratio for a turbo setup.. I have 3.08 stockers anyways.. would upping it a little help in the 1/4?

3.42's max, but GN guys use 3.23's usually and some even use 3.08's. Turbos need load to spool.

323s are probably the best on our cars, I'd keep your 3.08s and throw in a posi. 342s are ok if you have them and don't feel like swapping for a lower gears, anything higher isn't good at all.
