8 3/4 gears

Definitely go 3.91 if those are the choices. You don't make enough HP to pull a 3.73 gear through the traps.

You should send your dyno sheet (along with all the other car specs they'll ask for) to whomever is making the convertor for you if you really want what's best for your combination.
I'll take your advice, and thank you for it. The search resumes.
