Your thoughts?

I'm on the list to get this transmission built over at MFactory.

I suppose that's given me some time to doubt my rationale and ideas. And I'd like to hear from a few of you.

Here's the trans: (first trans is what I have, 2nd is what I'm having built)

My reasoning (for better or worse) I'm just hoping to drop a few 1/10ths off my time with this car, and the pride of going fast with a stock mill. Sure, would be cheaper to just build a motor. But that's not where I'm at. This is what I thought would be fun to do instead.

The car in my sig below is what the trans is for. It gets through 1st and 2nd much to quickly, leaving LONG pulls in 3rd and 4th. So I'm adding a bit to 1st and 2nd, and shortening up 3rd and 4th. And because I still want to use smaller lighter tires (22"), I'm changing the final drive to 4.05

Car should be good for 1/8th and 1/4 mile with this gearing.

existing time in gear on a 13.9 pass:
1st, 2.3 seconds
2nd, 2.2 seconds
3rd, 5.2 seconds
4th, 4.2 seconds

I appreciate your taking the time to read and respond.
