5 Speed Gear ratio advice?

This may help a little;

Final drive ratio feel.
3.91 X .68 = 2.6588
3.91 X .64 = 2.50

FWIW, I'd go with the 600 for anbetter first gear ratio. 3.27 is very deep. Same deal (multiplication) applies.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to show my ignorance here. I appreciate you helping me understand. The final drive you mention means that in 5th gear the 3.91s will feel like 2.50s at cruising speed?

Also, what do you mean about the 3.27 being 'deep'? Too low geared? As in since I am already low geared in the rear the 2.87 would be better for 1st gear?

Thanks.
