Greg will also do new wires and plus while doing the headers. I am keeping the stock exhaust for now. Maybe add NPP later on.

3.42 is what comes standard in the z06s, and I'm happy with the way they pull. When you start getting into stiffer gearing, gas mileage will suffer, and you will find that the engine might wind up quicker than you like when you just want to cruise down the highway.

I guess it depends on where you believe you are headed with the car.

The first generation V's came with 3:73 gears due to the fact the car is 700 pounds heavier than the Z06 of the same year and there was no automatic transmission offered. Feels perfect to me, especially when I was running the 14 pound flywheel.
