Here is my gear ratio comparison :
Dividing ratios : 0.730 / 0.605 = 1.2066 => ~21% reduction in RPMs
Here is your final drive comparison :
Dividing ratios : 4.08 / 3.54 = 1.1524 => ~15% reduction in RPMs
I don't know if I would want that. For me, my "ace in the hole" is my lower gears.
But, if I wasn't in an urban environment, maybe I would have a different POV.

Sorry for digging up the old thread, and thanks for posting it in the first place...
So, if you had to do it over, would you:
1. Leave it alone
2. Use the 5th from a 97- SOHC so the stretch from 4th to 5th wasn't so big
3. do it with the 5th from a 98+ SOHC as done
4. use a 97- SOHC complete trans
5. use a 98+ SOHC complete trans
??????
I'm thinking of doing this if I get an DOHC SC2, which it seems might be a better car and motor overall than the SOHC SC2 model, but would like the economy of the SOHC or better on the highway
