No you move through the RPM ranger faster as well as the gearing is shorter. In effect you are putting more power to the ground as well. If you did a dyno in first gear the FRS would make like 400+ WHP or w/e it works out to due to the gearing. We measure WHP in 4th for autos and 5th for manual's as thats when the gearing is 1:1 (means the engine turns once so does the wheels cuz in first engine turns once wheel turns .5 or w/e the real ratio is my numbers are just made up examples)
