With a low 1st gear, I think a consideration will be what the engine tq is when you shift into 2nd. If the tq is low-ish, or doggy, low 1st gear might be a bad move.
Torque is a lot more than a typical use for the low gear set would be..IE..stock stroke head limited stocker or super stocker that is heavy.
car already scoots in second gear, it’s just lazy leaving. The second gear ratios are very close to the same in either set
