Default yes another gear question :(

k so i thought i had 3.55's cuz the drive shaft turned about 3-1/2 times to one rotation of the tire.

but on the door tag under AX its say's 'F' and apparently thats a 3.45 gear..cuz my car is a 4 cyl.

i'm going to be running a 351 with a C4 trans and doing alot of drag racing but also this car will be kinda a DD. should i switch to like 3.73's or something to get a better launch? and i have to drive for 30 minutes on a highway to get to the strip and about 15 minutes on a highway to get to one of my friends house...which i go to often. So yes some highway driving.

help me!! lol.........thanks
