I have a '32 5W which will be running a 276ci engine and a '40 rearend with 3.78 gears. I have three possible transmission gear setups... a 16:28, a 15:29, and a 18:26. LZ (although I think I'll be replacing the input shaft and second gear on that one due to wear).

So which combo would be best for a little snap off the line and possibly driving highways around 65? To get to 65 would I need the 3.54 rear gears?
