However, with that engine, I would lose the 3.73 ratio and go with a 3:23 or 3:08 or you will never hook up unless you run wrinkle wall slicks. I have to believe that first and second are totaly useless with those gears.

Yes, fully agree.

With that much grunt, taller gears will be a better package.

If second gear is "undriveable" with 3.73s or lower, then the engine can't be enjoyed until 3rd gear.
