You usually want to cross the finish line at the RPM with peak power. Take it to the track and find out.

I have 3.90's and first gear is pretty much useless. I could'nt even imagine anything steeper than that if your blown, even with a centri (which I have)

You need a better tire and more weight transfer. I can hook my drag radials 90% in first gear on the street once they get warm. A 3.90 will actually spin less tha a 3.73.
