5 Speed Gear ratio advice?

IMO
the perfect-fit is a GVOD behind an A833. And if you start with a 3.09/direct 4th, I can't see 7 or 8 useable gears not being a good thing. With this combo 3.55s are pretty sweet. You can probably find a gear to fit any situation.I know I can.
Toss in a Passon aluminum box and the whole works weighs about the same as the regular A833, actually less IIRC. Yeah I seem to remember 110ish.
The tunnel only required a couple of well-placed whacks.
The shifter could be re-centered into the console, but I got me a short-stick and moved it back between the buckets, made up some stout shift-rods, and tossed the console. BadaBoom no more reaching for Third, and no more missed shifts
The ratios are;
3.09-2.41-1.91-1.50-1.40-1.09-1.00-.78od....GVOD in bold
I run it with 3.55s.
The Cruise-gear is 2.77, and the starter is 10.97,
60 mph is 6380 in 2.41 ratio. 30mph is 4100 in 3.09
Car goes 93(1/8th)@6150 in 1.50 ratio. This translates to 115 in the Qtr
To go 115, I could use
3.23s and 1.40 to get 6460,shifting thru 4 ratios, or
3.55s and 1.09 to get 5530, with 5 ratios.or,
3.73s and 1.09 to get 5810,with 5 ratios, or
3.91s and 1.09 to get 6100, also 5 ratios or,
4.10s and 1.09 to get 6385, still 5 ratios,or
4.10s and 1.00, to get 5860, hyup, 5 ratios
4.30s and 1.00 to get 6150, using 4 or 5 ratios
But I haven't raced Qtr.
