3.08s is not going to work well with the Close Ratio. You are going to fry a clutch disk pretty fast. I've seen this and it's not pretty. 3.36 ( actually 3.55 is lowest I would use in the real world) is the lowest that I would even think of using with a 2.20 first gear.

But that's me.

You might want to think WIDE Ratio (2.52) on this. Trust me.
