My T5 ratios are 1st 2.95, 2nd 1.94, 3rd 1.36, 4th 1.0. the rear end ratio is 4.11. The slicks are 28 inches. The engine will go quickly up to 5400 and beyond in 1st. Same for 2nd and 3rd but with less rapid acceleration. If I shift from 1st to second and second to third at 5400, by the time I get to the end of 1/8 mile I am at about 4700 in 3rd. Would shifting from first to second at 5400, then shifting at say 5000 from second to third help my overall time and speed?
