Huh? I have 3.90 gearing, and 5 speed. First gear is pretty useful. It
depends what you want it for! :P With my limited experience of drag
racing
(12 runs total todate), I have pulled every 'equal' car that I
raced...through 2nd
gear. 1st is great for towing too... Nothing like pulling away with barely
any
work on the engines part, and then accelerating through the gears..
