I will say that the 4.9 1st is great for helping gas mileage on stop/go, and slight throttle driving. The mechanical levarage would require half the power from the engine to get it rolling. I get why it's there, but for performance numbers, I think a strong to possibly full power pull from 2nd at 2500rpm if sc or 3500rpm if turbo would rally hard. My two step hit hard from a dig with 2.66 1st, 3.08 rear, 28" tires and 3800rpm on the street. Very quick launch for rwd and drag radials.
With DRs it will get out of the hole hard. Should really help ETs as long as the tire is there. Changing the ratios themselves may be an option as well.
