In the big picture I want to combine wide-ratio lower gears + tight spaced overdrives + tall highway axle gear. Power it all with a big block that's built to be happy at low revs.
Result: The 1st gear ends up at a normal speed. The 1st & 6th gear ratios are not much farther apart than normal. But the 2nd-to-5th gear spacing in between them is wider at the bottom and tighter at the top. And driveshaft speeds are slower in all gears.
I don't mind having a 6th gear that is lugging the motor below 60-70 mph. That means there is a gear left at the top to keep the revs down even in rural Nevada. I don't need to be using the top gear in urban/suburban areas just to feel like I got my money's worth.
