    You will want 3.9's to get moving with an auto with that cam.
    No idea what sort of power that would put out, every car is different, and all depends on the tune as well.
    What sort of compression is it running?

    diff ratio is really dependent on what you wanna do with the car? for drag racing i'd suggest either 3.9's or 4.11's. if cruising is important i'd suggest 3.7's or 3.45's if you do a lot of highway driving and good economy is important. to get the most from the cam it might pay to fit a stall converter
