I'm currently running a 28" tire and plan to drop to a 27" tire to get the tire width I'm looking for so the 2.87 first gear is looking more like what I would need.

I would agree as long as the overdrive doesn't come up being too deep with a 3.08.
Edit, you also have a 350 and I only have 283, so your bound to have more torque at any rpm than I do.
