A 2.87 1st gear, like in the TKO 600 is just fine and it works with a nice variety of rearend gears. If you ride in a Cobra with one, I think you'll see that needing such a high 1st gear ratio is a non-issue.

The difference between a Cobra and a Nova is night and day. A 2400 lb car with 550hp will light the tires no matter what 1st gear ratio you have.

I'm offering a package deal right now on a TKO 600 transmission, Quicktime bellhousing, RAM flywheel, RAM clutch kit, and accessories. This combination works perfectly for a Cobra.
