Quicker STREET car - 3.07 or 3.55?

Question is: with a GTS putting out 450/480, what is quicker on the street only (no track) 3.07 or 3.55 rear gears? I know the gearing obviously favors the 3.55's, but I wonder on the street, if traction is such an issue that 3.07's would be more consistent and take out poor road surface, driver error or other variables and make the car actually quicker in the stoplight races...

What does 3.55's do to 0-60 or 0-80 times on the street in real world cases?

I already have some traction issues and think that 3.55's might actually hurt my acceleration on the street in the real world - what do you guys that have gears think?

...stick with the stock gears if you're racing on *street tires.* Pure and simple. The 3.55's won't give you much (if any at all) due to increased traction issues....yet hurt you on the top end. (for no benefit)
