I totally agree with the mechanic, 1st gear will be to low in my opinion. You didn't say what car your running this combo in, but replicas are WAY lighter than Mustangs. Lighter weight needs a higer gear. As has been mentioned, 1st will be all but useless except for 'tire frying'.

Three Peaks has a great idea, change the 1st ratio. 2.95 is good, I'd consider a 2.78 as well, something in that range.
