starting line gear ratio?

Is that is like saying 12-1 AF ratio is perfect..
Test it.
Keep going up on SLR and find what your combo likes.
Rear gear selection and tire size for finish line RPM and MPH
BTW back in the old school days It seemed that the sticks we played with liked about 20% more SLR than the automatics. That may not be the case these days with modern converters and clutches...

How about 21.39?

Tire height, flywheel weight, clutch, torque curve, and so many other things would factor into this.
