I think maybe it really doesn't matter. I can leave just as long a black streak on the driveway at 3:1 as 5:1...One less thing to switch back and forth every week.

Way to low in my opinion for autocrossing a F440. It probably didn't accelerate out of the corners like you wanted it to. I don't think the car will top out before that speed, but you might get too much wheel spin coming out of the corners, thus losing some time. For the initial runs I say go with the 6 to 1 and get use to the car. Then start changing, tweaking and modifying. It's pretty easy to get pretty quick in these cars, the hard part is getting the last few 10th's to beat everyone and that's part of the fun.
