I agree holdover, I really don't want to change anything on my coupe, the syncro is indistinguishable from the stock one and you can have a 15% higher second gear (same for 1st if you want) so probably pulling 30 mph in second wouldn't be a problem. Getting started on a hill and then being able to get into second quickly would greatly help keeping your momentum up. I really don't even like the idea of over 50 mph in these cars, if you are in a collision, you're gonna get hurt, or maybe even a little bit dead. I like the Model A experience just the way it was designed, but it sure can be intimidating out in today's driving reality. Although more difficult to do, the OD could be put back to stock as well, you don't have to modify anything, everything you need is in the kit.
