The industry's terminology is kind of confusing. A numericly lower number is actually a higher gear than say a numericly higher number. What the number represents is how many times the driveshaft has to turn to turn the wheels once. In other words with a 3.27:1 gear the drive shaft has to turn 3.27 times to 1 turn of the wheels. If you have say a set of 2.98:1 it will take fewer revoltions to do the same amount of work, however it requires more effort to do so. The opposite is true of a set of say 4.11:1 gears, it take more rev's but less effort. I think because you are using an AOD trans, 3.27 should work OK. Sorry for running long,hope this helps you out.
