[quote=SPF1061;1233688]I also have a miracle called first gear, but mine thrives on a 3.27 rear axle ratio. I absolutely do not disbelieve you, but I do find it completely contrary to my experience. I wonder what engine you are running? Is it possible that you are running a peaky motor? I have run the M/Ts on my car and can smoke them at will in low gear above 2000/2500 rpm with a fully engaged clutch. I am quite jealous of the incredible traction you are achieving and want some for myself![/QUOTE

my motor is aluminum stroket 427 windsor. 420-475 rwhp depending on the dyno. Its definately not a low end big block torque monster but I dont think its that out of the ordinary though. Power comes in about 2k and really hits at 3500 through 6500. I switched from a 3.27 to 3.37 and honestly it was not as big of change as I thought it would be. I wish I would have went 3.90 to 4.10.
