To be honest, it seems like you need to do a lot more analysis before you make this move.

EDIT: Re-read your first post, if you're 2nd gear is to short as it, why not go numerically lower on your FD?

Going higher on the FD, then changing your 1-2 gear ratios in the trans to match seems........well......daft to say the least.
I am N/A and always be, I wont go lower with FD, car feels slow there.
I have 4.67 on a car and 4.88 waiting on install, 4.67 was not that short as I expected, so thats why I jump to 4% more. With that, I will probably shift more, so I could keep 4.67 and go with lightest wheels, cf driveshaft etc, but thats more expensive than doing geabox and still dont match my expectations.

I am doing my analysis, thats why I asked if anyone has it and put some numbers above.
