I had a higher 1st gear ratio, much higher, than I have now. I was consistently FASTER with the higher gear ratio's because it was easier to control wheel spin and I could hook sooner.

Then, close ratio top loader driving a 3:31 Jag. Now, TKO600, same rear.

Some folks with a low 1st gear have found that starting in 2nd, at a drag race, gives them their best ET. But sadly, often at the expense of the clutch depending on how high 2nd is.
