It will depend upon your rear tire diameter and 1st gear ratio, but while a 4.10 might be great for your high-winding cammer, the windsor will have TORQUE. With short tires on 17" wheels and a 4.10 rear gear, 1st gear will be useless for anything but parades and testing your rev limiter. You'll find yourself starting off in 2nd.
