What is a good gear ratio for a 1600lb 400hp fed car is just for fun

thanks guys the car has a scat balanced rotating assembly and a hydraulic roller procomp aluminium heads. The car has a 120" wheelbase and is on 29.5 x8 tires the guy prior to me ran only 1/8 drags and shifted all three gears. I want to use the car for nostalgia events and don't want to get to crazy. car has a foot brake and currently launches in low.
