Sure it will cause some annoying changes in when and where you shift, but the net effect should be a more usable range of torque. And then if we did top out 5th gear, then 6th would still be available.
i dont know about you, but if my gearing was any shorter id need 6th for ACS, which i dont wanna do cause it'll slow me down, since 6th is over drive

this is how i feel, i think the 370 gearing on socal tracks with 18s is pretty spot on
