Stillen blower and final drive

Just curious what final drive gearing in a 6 speed manual would be ideal to compliment the Stillen supercharger (stock,taller,or shorter) and why?

Yeah I guess I should have been more specific. What would be best for drag.

Well depending on your trap speed the 5AT diff which is taller at 3.3 will probably be good as it will allow you to go into 120 MPH in 4th and not force a shift to 5th right at the end of the 1/4 mile

Correct. My 5AT G35s shifts into 5th gear at about 128 mph.
