Rev limit, tire size, whp/wtq, use of car, top speed needed in 4th or 5th?

There is a big difference between the two setups. What exactly are you doing with the car?

Close gear set would work the best IMO. FD might shorten up 1/2 too much depending on the tires you're using. Which ratios depend on whether you can rev it out in 4th or are limited to 8,800.
