gearbox gearing

my 71 bay window with alfa33 1.5 (approx 95bhp) is just about ready to go through its mot

have been taking out for a few test runs but the engine needs a bit of tuning still. just had a feeling from the box that it was long but hard to tell with badly running engine

I`m just wondering if the gearbox gearing is going to be too long

the box is a DC code type1/111 4.125 lsd

any people who know boxes have an idea.

thanks

4.125 is quite tall should give a good motorway cruising speed but no dry burnouts as the bug box might be quite stressed with the weight of a bay on it?
