With the 396/350 spd 68 I have a choice from the seller of these 4 gear ratios. Which one is the best for in town, some highway, no drag driving. Still want a little pop though?

Go with the 3.55s. They were the most street friendly gear ratio I've ever run. 3.73s are good, but just a touch too much on the highway. Anything higher and you're slipping the clutch for 1/2 a block to get moving. If you're running an auto I would suggest 3.31 or 3.23s.
