A close ratio trans may result in a slower 60' time but due to less RPM drop on gear changes, could result in a quicker E.T. On the other hand a trans with a wide ratio, say a 2.75 for example may provide a quicker 60' but may fall down too much on the gear change. Converter stall also comes into this discussion as well.
