I was running 3:55 with a five speed. 1st was a joke, to low, fry the tires or short shift. 5 and 6 speed trannys typically have a LOW first gear all ready. 4 speed has a higher 1st gear.

Currently running a 3.1 rear gear with a top loader. 60 mph in first, 2800 rpm at 70. 1st is TO high for around town but works out pretty good at the drag strip. I have TONS of power and that DOES make a difference in what gear ratio's to choose.
