For the 4-speed we are well past traction liminted in 1st and 2nd gear, 3rd and 4th aren't but we won't be pushing in those. If we have the FPs to spare then even 3rd will be traction limited. Most likely for the season we will run AM Gen3 shifters, we just wanted something cool to play with.
If you're traction-limited in both 1st and 2nd gear, why not eliminate 1st altogether? What benefit does it provide?
