What ratio do you have now?

From interest, do you want to go higher or lower than standard?

You mean a higher diff ratio not lower for less revs at a given speed . the numbers may be lower but the ratio is higher. A five speed box would give less revs for a given speed but it would depend upon which engine you have as to if one is a straight fit . If you are using a Viva engine I don't know of any
