i find traction an issue with even with my 3.73's. if i launch 1st good without spinning, 2nd and 3rd still chirp. the other day i launched hard spinning 1st (not on drag strip) and continued to spin till i hit 4th.
i wouldnt say useless..you'll be stronger from a roll. but yea if you have stock 245 wide tires you'll spin alot lol i have 315's and still spin 1st 2nd and bark third hard
any gear upgrade, 3.73, 3.90, or 4.10 will make a difference. you have to decide how much you like 1st gear. i find it sometimes too quick even with 3.73's with normal grandma driving. i'd hate to see it with 4.10's, prolly be better just to go straight to 2nd lol.
