Dont the correct ratios depend on the power delivery/rpm of the engine?

Surely any na gearbox wont be perfect for any other n/a engine??

I know my car has an identical gbox but different ratios to a puma altho theres barely 20lbft of torque between them......
Not so much of a problem as most NA deliver the power roughly the same, unless you have a heavily modified NA.

The problem would be if you used that gearbox on a turbo car, as turbos tend to like to work against longer ratios to make the boost.
