Default IB5 Gear Ratio info needed

Basically looking into all the different gear and final drive ratio options for these boxes, really for the MK4/5 Fiesta and the Puma.

Is this information available at all?

Just wanted to compare ratios for 1.25/1.4/1/6/1.7 engines in their respective cars.

Possibly looking to mix and match a box to make the quickest accelerating box possible, without the expense of aftermarket gear kits.

Any help is appreciated!

Racing puma box is great. 1.7 box is the only one that will do a true 60 in second gear. Car stays nice and on cam with this box.

Sport ka box if you wanna fit it to a Cvh or zetec

Car is a Puma 1.7. May end up with a tuned 1.6 engine though.

The owner is toying with the idea of turning it into a rally car, so gearing needs to be as short as possible, but the budget won't stretch to aftermarket stuff just yet.

Was just wondering if there better options, or if alternative gears or final drives could be mixed to get something better. Heard the Zetec-S Fiesta had a shorter final drive.

1.4 box with cyro treated or short pened gears, with some sort of diff probably would be the best option.
