As much as possible while still being able to achieve your desired "top speed" within a safe RPM range.

Honestly for highish boost 13/14 psi plus I'd just leave the stock in, it becomes and hindrance with more overall acceleration I don't think you can give wrong with leaving the stock fd in.

This needs answered before anyone can make a decent go at your question without being completly opended.

Are you SC or Turbo? FI is too general. Typically stock 4:10 is efficient at stock power up to about 500whp/350 trq and after that 3:90 is a popular choice, of course depending on what your primary use is, will dictate, but generally stock is pretty good over a broad use.

I hate my 4.08, I think I'll still have to go into 5th in the 1/4 mile with the PPG.

I think over 500 you should think about 3.9s, over 700 3.73s?

You shouldn't have to go into 5th, I didn't with that setup when I went 9.9 at 142
