I disagree that the 3.154 is too short. Even the modern GT2 RS, which is also a 3.44 final drive uses the same 3.167 as a 997 Cup Car. All the 1000hp 996Tt builds we do retrofit the 3.167 and 1.89 2nd of the RS.
IMO most are focusing on the wrong gear. 1st just gets you going regardless. 2nd gear is the one you use most. Having that ratio provide a usable range of speed top to bottom is key. It’s a tick too tall in a stock 930 4spd and a tick too short in an NA G50. I like 1.938 personally for cars in the 400-600 hp range. More power? Go up to a 1.895 or 1.842.
