I'll go out on a limb here. When I ran (back in the stone ages) the only guys that could run a gear that deep had stick shift cars. Mind you the rules say "stock" so you should keep that in mind. Also the final ratio (transmission ratio X rear end ratio) is in my opinion, the one that matters. For example, a t-350 in first gear (2.52 IIRC) and a 3.08 rear axle gives a final drive of 7.76 which worked for me. That was with L78 X 15 bias ply tires on the right side and a E,F, or G (depending on my tire pile more than anything) on the left. I'm sure as time has marched on and radials are what is easily obtained things have changed.
