"Prolly" not. If you're setting your car to run up on the hill, I'm not qualified to comment.
In a non -altitude situation , I'd say that's way too much first gear for a light , V8 car.
It'll hurt more than it help ...Launch , clutch setup , and even mph , if you can believe that.
I ran a 3.97 first in my 2300 turbo Mustang ,but for an entirely different reason.
