Gears really make a car more fun. My Corvette is manual with 3.90 gears. It really balanced out my 450ish RWHP. Without the gears, the car was fast. With the gears, the car was quick and fast.
Traction doesnt happen till 3rd gear on a 3200 pound car.
I calibrated a lot of Gen5 Camaros with 6L80 transmissions and 3.91 gears. With just bolt ons, guys are blowing through 1st and 2nd, and chirping 3rd. Sounds fun, and is fun, but at any decent power level, the 3.91s in the 6L80 transmission dont hook up well.
So I guess my point is if you are going to gear that high in an automatic, be mindful of your power level goals.
