I think 3.23's would be a mistake for a RA IV car and 3.55's would be close enough that you might as well have the 3.90's. My opinions though are based on the typical collector car lifestyle of mostly sitting in a garage with limited cruising. If you wanted to use the car for long drives and trips maybe a overdrive automatic (TH700 etc) is an option.

Hmm I thought it still went pretty good with the 3.23’s! Always appreciate your feed back.
