Default final drive ratio

Our 01" Z06 is just to powerful to hook.Were thinking of going from 3:42's to a workred 2:73.My friends say we need a 3:73 or 4:10 to hook on slicks.
2:73's make more sense to me.We will also go to T32"s from 28"s to raise full boost at higher RPM and not go down the 1320 side ways.
So whats your opinion,any help would be great.

3.42 or 2.73. If you go 4, the chances of tire spin goes up.
