? about gear ratio for pullin

Guys I have a 79 ford that I use for truck pulling, Kinda of a wild street class. Right know I have a 4.10 gear ratio with 33 inch tires. I would like to go to a 35 inch tire. What would the ideal gear ratio be. I want to have more tire on the ground. Thanks guysin advance.

4.56 would be right for 35s or you might even want to go with a 4.88
