Jeff,
I'm not sure what rear axle ratio I have but 4th is 4000 rpm @ 70 MPH,
I'd like to get it down for longer trips, 1st redlines @ 30, 2nd @60
with good pickup off the line---which is good for my autocrossing.
The 5 speed keeps the 1st 4 ratios the same, adds an overdrive,
current top end ~ 100, with the overdrive I've been told ~ 120. Not
that I'll use it but at some higher speed autocrosses I'll get up to
85-90, and I don't want to be so close to the max speed.
