Keep in mind evenly divisible gears are to be avoided when possible. With a 1.000 ratio, the same gear teeth are meshing every single time.

And you shouldn't create unintended ratios by exchanging gears. For instance, a overdriven QP 25/26 should not be reversed to "create" an underdriven PQ 26/25. Only a PQ with the gears arranged/cut as intended should be used. I wasn't implying the guys in this thread are suggesting that. Just mentioning it for someone else who may consider that idea.

Agreed the last setup gives nice spacing and the car will be in the powerband at redline shifts from 3-5. Just don't forget about 5th cruising speed if you drive your car to the track. The SN gives you almost 5000 rpms at 80 mph. That could get tiresome. If you don't drive your car on the highway, then who cares about cruising rpm?
