What gear to run vs. starting line ratio

I not completely familiar with SLR but if it's rear ratio times first gear ratio 10 seems a little low for most Stk S/S cobinations...

obviously with a longer stroke that would change things, but we have a 3 inch stroke... 2.92 1st gear ratio and 4.88 rear ratio on a 28 or 30 by 9" wide tire.. have zero issues hooking..

2.92*4.88=14.25 SLR I'm sure yours can be a little lower as I'm sure your stroke is bigger... but i wouldn't worry about it too much and I'd guess if you can make the higher SLR hook your 1/8th ET will be quicker..
