I admit I have trouble understanding this, as I sometimes get it backwards. But since you're planning on going FI, won't a 4.08 be counterproductive? You'll have such a huge power:weight ratio, you'll have difficulty hooking up the rear wheels for consistent launches...unless you plan on dropping the clutch in 2nd gear or something. Also, if you'd like to get 0-60 times (if I understand the relationship correctly), you may have to shift from 2nd to 3rd before reaching 60 -- or at least be way outside your powerband before 60 in 2nd. Feel free to correct me if I've misspoken!

Good luck with your experiment!
