If it works then nobody can tell you it is wrong. 5.88 is a very high ratio. You may have some adjustability problems. If it doesn't work out then I may suggest you set it up like I have below.

# 1 Timer comes on at .80

Stop RPM around 4300

Make one pass at 1.50 seconds, the next pass at 1.70 seconds to get some understanding of the ratio. Make sure you use the same lane, and the same day to do this. You must give the car at least one hour cool down time to make sure it is actual ET differences. Hot lapping will only confuse the numbers. Don't do a ratio by making a one second change in the timer, it won't stay linear. Only adjust it close to where the stop will actually be run.

You really are better off if you can get the ratio down to at least 3 to 1 ( .030 to .01 ). This way there is more adjustment range.
