Default Gears

Im going together with my first small setup and I already have 4.10 gears but I want more driveability for the c-4 transmission that I am installing. I know I can drive along with 4.10 gears on the highway at 50 mph at a high rpm and be ridiculous looking but I want to be able to drive the car as far as I want with no problem. Was thinking about 3.55 or 3.73 but people have mixed feelings about both. Can somebody give me a good track and highway gear please. Transmission is a c-4(3 speed)

Look at some calculators such as this one. http://www.angelfire.com/fl/procrastination/rear.html
play with tire sizes as well in the calculator. Dont pick your set up based on other peoplesopinions. The C-4 with only 3 gears and a final drive of 1.0 is limiting your choices for the lack of a cruising gear.
