Default what gear ratio? 3.36 or 3.55

i have 3.90 in there now this is for car in sig. 3.90 suck 1st gear is useless. i had 3.23 in there and it needed more but when it was 3.23 the car had a weak 400 in it. it now has the 462 listed in sig and is a powerhouse. so i dont go to the strip too often just 5-6 times a summer but doubt i can even run it because its a vert and i dont really want to put a roll bar in . i live in country 10 miles either direction i leave my driveway before i hit a town. im leaning toward the 3.36. just wondering if anybody has good actual knowledge on this. i tried a bunch of different calculators but they all come up with different answers. i have a new yukon posi i am installing as well

thx
