mine does 56mph in 1st @ 7700 rpm, and i wish i had a shorter 1st,
the time lost on a gear change on a dog box is minimal, and worth it compared to 1st being too tall for launch like mine.
on road tyres, bog's at 7000, spins up @ 7200rpm, and no real in between.

so are you going to change the ratios?mine runs 3.214 / 1.925/1.302/1.00/0.752 = 49 82 121 158 210. goes really well in first and second,and the 50/50 torque split gives good traction.

Only if i have to rebuild the box again.
i was meant to have the highest 1st R+D do, but they f-cked up, and i didn't find out till after i rebuilt the box, and it was fitted.
i'm running,
215/40/17 tyres,
7700 rpm,
3.6 final, std step off, 3.6 diff's,
pumped up centre diff to 50nm,
R&D dog box, ratio's and speed @ 7700rpm
1st = 2.68 = 56.1mph, (2.98 is available = 50.4mph)
2nd = 1.89 = 79.6mph
3rd = 1.43 = 105.2mph
4th = 1.17 = 128.5mph
5th = 1.00 = 150.9 mph
6th = 0.82 = 183.5mph.

I would have thought that would be easy top end given your gearing (4.4:1 ?) but 0-60 and 100 yours should have it no sweat... 
i have 3.6 in and a .809 top gear and rev limiter at 8200 work that out and i think 1st is 2.68? work that out
yeah i have changed the ratio for this and yeah first will be tall will do about 64 in first so if i get it off the line it should do good 0-60
and the back spoiler is coming off for it and there could be another suprise to help the areodynamics
I was under the impression that you were on 3.6 front and 4,4 rear, I'm sure I read that in P/Ford.
If that's not the case then I reckon you will have a hard time getting it off the line without hurting the clutch as the first gear is a bit tall, your .80 and the shape of the car should give better top end than mine although having said that I don't know the drag of that rear spoiler.
You could get 60 in first with your gearing but I have tried that before and it was slower than using second as well.
