373 or 355 if you have high power, but if turbo then i would even go lower like 327 or even 308

Well, are you looking for something that is going to be good on the highway and have a decent amount of kick on the street? If so, I would go with 3.73's, they are a good all around gear but if you really want a nice top end you could try 3.55's. You will still feel them down low but the top end will be really nice. Also, you forgot to mention wether its auto or manual...

Dont be racing on the highway, keep it on the track. Hate to see somthing happen to somone on the forums here get hurt for doing somthing dumb on the freeway.

Also remember Foxs arnt the best at handling or breaking so highway racing isnt the best thing.
