You're gonna spend so much time rowing through the gears it might hurt your ET's.

Row? This ain't no canoe ride. Slam......Slam those gears. Drive it like you hate it.

And as the old addage goes that Jomar quoted, "Don't fear the gear", I don't.

you feel like 1st is useless alchoholica? im running 3.73s and when you floor it from the line, first still goes to like 25mph with a 5500-6000rpm shit on the stock tach, that's a good 2 seconds in gear, count it, 0 ... 1 ... 2,
In regular everyday driving I just start in second gear to avoid the dreaded 8 or 9 mph shift ... I wish i would have gotten 4.10s, but my parents wouldn't let me
.
N20D ... your mod motor revs quite a bit higher than these 5.0's, I'm sure you know that. So a 4.56 gear shifting at almost 7000rpms is probably the same as a 5.0 with 3.73 or 3.9 shifting at 5500, mph wise. I think anything more than 4.10 on the street with a 5.0 is kind of overkill.
I remember test driving a mach and the rpms still seemed to have a little drag ont he way up to the powerband, but once it got to revin ... it was a beast, so I'm sure you won't be finding me messing with you on the road anymore, I'm not ready for that kind of beatdown .
