Sure, for a drag-only car!

The application is obviously the deciding factor. If you're just doing quarter
miles, the close ratio trans is the answer.Close ratio Muncie four speeds were
popular in the 60's, but weren't so hot on the street.

Wide ratio is the best for the street, you just run a taller rear gear. Besides,
shouldn't you get something out of all that EFI hardware? like a rock solid
cruise at 1900 RPM, 65 MPH, with the torque converter locked.
