The 60/21 or 60/22 may to a bit too sluggish on take-off. If your car has not shed at least 70 grams or more, that ratio will put you at a disadvantage. If your car is fully stock, you might want to go with the 58/22 first gear combo. If your car has shed some grams, then you might want to try the 59/22 first gear combo to give you enough punch/snap at the bottom for smooth, quick take-off but not too much to spin your car out or put you sideways and hinder your take-off or acceleration out of corners.
