Dogge,

The 4.11 ring and pinion ratio will make 1st gear quite short. If you have the option to employ the 3.75 ring and pinion, 1st gear would be more suitable, IMO. I am not aware that a 3.3:1 1st is available, but if it is then I would strongly suggest using it. Some years ago EuroSpecSport cataloged a 2.7:1 1st gear 01E option, but I understand it was dropped for lack of interest (imagine that!). Makes one wonder if some of those gearsets aren't laying around somewhere?
