I wish they would have put a higher first gear in that wide ratio. By the time you go low enough rear gear for the overdrive, that 3.27 first gear is useless. Based on my calculations, the close ratio would be easier to gear for, in a street car anyway.

I agree...Its far to much of a gear spread. 1st or 5th will end up being useless. I am after the close ratio with the 2.87 1st and the .81 5th. Car currently has a W/R toploader so 1st is at least close to my 2.78.    Cory
