If you are set on keeping the ten bolt I wouldnt reccomend going any higher numerrically than 3.73's. The main strength issue with 10 bolts is the pinion and when you go to real steep gears the pinion gear gets real tiny and that creates more heat and stress on less surface area. Plus with your lt1 and auto you make your power considerably lower than ls1 cars so to use it you want to be going through the traps between 5800-6300 so that you do not nose over before the stripe. For a proper gear install you are looking to spend around 350-400 in parts and $300 for the rebuild.
