Not with a stock transmission.  This is the case for me with my NV4500,
but that's a 2:1 gear split transmission throughout.

I suspect with a Toyota transmission (I can't remember the ratios off the
top of my head, I haven't owned one in years) third gear in 4.7 low is 
closer (but a little higher) to what first is with stock low now.

I've got 'em written down *somewhere*... somebody's gotta have 'em
handy, though.

Super low also is lower that way... 5.2ish instead of 4.7.  I'm very 
happy with my 4.7 gearset, but part of why I chose that was due to
the gear split differences in my NV4500; I don't know which way I'd
go with a stock Toy transmission.
