I think the "minimum/maximum" stuff Mike provided is really intended for guidance. And it's good information based on math. Your personal tolerance for of and definition of "acceptable" will determine how far from that guidance you can go and still be happy with the result. Some guys wnat their car to behave like a new BMW, while others want a top fueler...
That .82 number will get the car away from a traffic light without drama, keep the clutch intact, and make it pleasant to drive around town. The .71 number and close ratio will keep the car in a useful range on a road course where all the gears can be utilized without abrupt RPM changes that would unsettle things.
