Track size, tire size, and lap times will dictate which "final drive" ratio you need.  Basically, no matter the vehicle it works the same.  Give the information stated above, for a more accurate answer.

I would try to run a 6.40 final or close.  That will put you in the ballpark, 3.40 with 1.97 trans, or 3.00 with 2.14 trans.  That's for the Pinto M2 stuff though.
