You're probably right. I guess I have the torque to sit in 4th so that cruising around isn't annoying.

An "Option C" with the shorter 1.933 2nd and 1.45 3rd would look like the below. 3rd goes from the 1.38 in Option B up to 1.45, and keeps RPMs up by ~200 or so. I don't know if I really get a ton out of 2nd here - in a 30MPH hairpin I'm at 2.8k vs. 3k, which is nice but still not fun. Any shorter on 2nd is even shorter than SCRS, which has the same 1.933 / 15:29 gearing as what I'm proposing here?

• Option C (short 2nd + matched 3rd)
• 2nd: 15:29 (1.933)
• 3rd: 20:29 (1.450)
• 4th: 24:27 (1.125)
• 5th: 29:22
• 2nd → 3rd @ 7200 rpm: lands at ~5400 rpm (≈1800 rpm drop)
• 3rd top speed: ~92 mph @ 7000, ~99 mph @ 7500
