It all depends on tire height and expected sustained rpm.How long you will be at the rpm as well.
I have 28" tires and it takes an hour to get to the nearest 1/4 mile.I liked the cruising with 3.55's better and will likely switch back after one attempt at the track with the lower gears to see if it betters the 12.54 best with 3.55's.
A tourqey motor will do better with taller gears.Higher rpm where the cam makes power later will benefit from the lower gear.There is always a trade off with driveability with lower gears unless you have an overdrive tranny.
