Az - i will agree that having a short gear ratio for first gear is benificial for the Eclipse cause it will get the turbo to spool up quickly, the reason every other gear in the eclipse is longer than the civic's gears is becaue it is geared to use the power from the fulley spooled turbo for as long as possible without loosing power.

If a turbo is not able to fully spool in first (because its a real big one), then second gear would also need to be made slightly shorter to get the turbo spooled, then the preceeding gears should be long to take advantage of a fully spooled turbo.

A fully spooled turbo gives you a wider range of usable power.
