  4. I would go 3.08:1. Don't know which tranny you have in there but it's pretty safe to assume your top gear is a 1:1... so with a 3.08 rear you'd turn roughly 2300 rpm at 60 mph, or so. Depends also on tire size, of course. As for posi vs. open rear, it really depends on what you plan to use it for. Lots of racing... posi might be the best.
