The problem with running ANY gear other than a 1 to 1 ratio through the trans is parasitic loss. 1 to 1 is NO GEARS at all, straight through to the rear end. Any other gear is a reduction or an over drive. It should not be under estimated what horse power could be lost due to a compounding gear arrangement (like 3rd).
