If you're looking for more performance, then you'll want the highest ratio possible. IIRC, 3.69's are pretty common. But if you want better fuel economy then go with a stock 4T65e-HD of 2.93:1. Otherwise, if you want a little bit of both, then go with a stock 3.29:1 found in the regular 4T65e. Those are the most common. If you change the gear ratio to a different one, you will obviously have to have the PCM retuned.

I would never do 3.69 gears in a street car. 2.93 gears turbo guys love and most sc builds I see use 3.29

I'm using a gmr 3.11 set but there very rare and pretty much no one even knows that ratio exists lol needless to say I love the 3.11 ratio on my turbo setup!
