I changed transmissions to a 6 speed T-56 with a 2.66 1st gear, .8 5th gear and .63 6th gear.
Tko3350 with a 3.55:
1st gear x rear gear ratio = 11.61 [too high in my opinion]
5th gear x rear gear ratio = 2.27 [too low in my opinion]
I really like the new gear ratios in my t56 so I think you would be fine with 3.08s...
T56:
1st gear x rear gear ratio = 9.44
5th gear x rear gear ratio = 2.84
Year current tko600 with 3.55 gear:
1st gear x rear gear ratio = 10.19
5th gear x rear gear ratio = 2.91
your TKO600 With 3.08 rear gear:
1st gear x rear gear ratio = 8.84
5th gear x rear gear ratio = 2.53

A low numerical ratio like 2.27 is a high ratio.
A high numerical ratio like 11.61 is a low ratio.
So when comparing ratios, say for 1st gear, 13:1 is a LOWER ratio than 11.61.
