Help me with A833 Gear ratio choice wide or close!

Got Jamie Passon buiding an A833 for me and I think I want the close ratio transmission but reading on some of the discussions on here I am now worried that the 2.47 first will be too high and the car may be a dog off the line.
Current set up im working on is: 3.91 rear gears, 360LA bored 40 over, forged 9.5 pistons (adding 150 nitrous near future). Cam: Hughes Engines , roller rockers, 308 heads 2.02's with some mild porting, M1 dual plane intake, TTI 1-3/4 headers and holley sniper efi. Currently have 26" tall tires and probably will go with 27" in future.

opinions on close or standard gear set with this combo? Plan on using the car mostly on the street but I don't care about "street manners" at the same time would like to be able to launch it with out burning up the clutch or bogging.
