Default Mtx gearbox ratios advice needed!

I'm currently rebuilding my mtx gearboxfor my zetec turbo after breaking second gear a fight club earlier this year!
Just after info really on what mtx box comes with the longest ratios from factory?

I'm currently running a mk5 rs 2000 gear set with mondeo rear casing and rs2000 front casing

The car tops out 4th gear at about 108mph at the mo which is making me suffer over the 1/4mile changing to 5th as when I was running an ib5 box it topped 4th at 122mph which got me over the line on the 1/4mile!

My car has a limiter it 6450
and runs 195 50 15 tyres

Any advice would be much appreciated!!

Thanks Dean
