that's assuming the box has the 0.82 overdrive
and working on 8000 rpm mate
my my feeling is the 4.09 is better suited for the road most of the time as I expect it to make max power from 7k all the way to 8500rpm if we rev it that high so the natural tendency in my driving style would be to change at 7k most of the time when on it and using the extra revs for overtaking or long corners where holding the revs is needed.
