it depends on what you have.
Overheating from keeping it accelerated? Thats not a very intelligent statement. First of all, it will be at a higher RPM when cruising, so what? Keeping it more accelerated doesn't even make sense.

If you want to know which gear to go with, without any other info on your car, or what you will be doing with it, then keep the stock 2.73's or 3.08's in there.

I could recommend 3.55's if you're planning on running a C4, 30psi of boost, 28" slicks, and 135+mph trap speeds.
OR I could recommend 4.56 gears if you're a high revving NA 306.

The answer is "it depends"
