The best factory gear set is still used in the T5Z Ford Racing version of the T5. It has the 2.95 first. I take this transmission and then put a .80 or so overdrive gear in it - which keeps all the gear spreads where I want them. The only challenge is that this transmission is NOT cheap, so it is not about saving money by any means. I'm probably heading this route in my 34 roadster . . . but that project is further "back in line" behind the rest! LOL
