Yes. 2 speeds (like the power glide mentioned) are common along with gears in the 5.13 and lower range. Even with tall first gears in the 1.68 and sometimes higher ranges, the acceleration is still fairly extreme.
To answer both... my PG first is 1.92, rear gear is 4.56 with M/T 10.5x33W and if i hold out until 7400, first gear ends around 300ft. It falls-back to 6700rpm
