Default Final drive ratio

Hi guys. Quick question as I'm a bit confused. Briefly I'm buying a CTS Stage 2 plus for my RST (on an Orion Mk1). It's fairly tuned up, I mean on MFI I'm driving in the 13s bracket. And I intend to modify it more in the future. I use it mainly for quarter-mile racing and sometimes for a sunday ride. In my country there aren't any really long and good roads and now they are full of speed cameras as well!

So, what final drive ratio would you recommend... 4:1 or 4:26:1? And why?

Side question: What clutch would you recommend? I thought about AP Racing.

Thanks!

If you want maximum performance for your quarter miling then it has to be the 4.26
