If going to trouble to change TR-6060 5th & 6th on a 2009, has anybody also tried going higher with 1st gear? In addition to launches, it seems to me that might also solve the 'skip-shift' issue without ever messing with the PCM. I would guess a 2.97 1st gear would probably put most shifts from 1st above 1700 RPMs and thus no skip-shift?

I don't like 3.55s (or even 3.45s) - this seems like it could be an all-around better solution. (I really would want 3.33 rear gears, but used gears worry me - and all the stories about thicker rear gear rings, which is stronger, etc., are confusing.)

Anybody know if I drove my Viper to Houston if Tomball or somebody would be good to do such a swap?

Thoughts?
