Gary
I have ZF 5 speed with 3.2:1 final ratio and 1st gear
is 2.23, 2nd 1.61,3rd 1.31,4th 1.09, 5th .74.After my track test yesterday I can tell you that 2nd to 3rd to 4th ratios are fantastic and the tight track didn't require 5th gear but I have quite a drop from 1.09 to.74. Your first gear you may find too high as although I haven't done a race start yet my 2.23 compounded with 3.2 final drive takes some revs to get going
regards Ross
