Your ratios now:

13.09-7.70-4.84-3.25-2.47


With 4.11 gears:


16.56-9.74-6.12-4.11-3.12




With Coopman's proposed trans gears and keeping your 3.25 rear gears:


9.58-6.30-4.35-3.25-2.63



Obviously 1st is worthless, but the rest are much improved. You can see the decent match between Coop's setup and using your trans (skipping 1st) with 4.11 rear gears.Yes it's a compromise but better than what you have now, and lots less money and time if that's a consideration.
