Hey Jocko, I have the original TKO, which I assume is the 500hp version since the TKO 600 wasn't offerd then. I'd have to look at my tech sheet to see the exact gear ratio's for first gear. I also have a 350 with 4:11 and a short 26" tire. I have no problem in first gear. It's no where near like a granny, but I don't need to touch the gas to move either. If I'm tired of shifting, I can take off in second gear as well with a little throttle. My motor is no race motor by any means. I built it in 1992 and it might make 300hp-350tq. It has an RV cam to put out the torque lower in the rpm range, but pulls well up to 5500. I had the TKO in there when I had 3.73 gears, but it was several years ago, and I don't remember much about the ranges of the gears. Now with the 4:11, I can use first gear if I want or do a wicked dead stop second gear burn out. It's the best of both worlds for me. I can go for a ride in the next day or so and record the rpm and gps mph readings if you'd like---jeff
