No problem, it's a complement.

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

I would do #3 over again. Second to that I would consider #5, but I would need to crunch the numbers first at a gear/tire ratio calculator like this one :
Fatboy Raceworks » Graphical Transmission Gear Ratio Calculator
The quote you are referring to was in response to jasonm changing his *final* gear ratio. That's like changing the size of your tires because the final gear ratio is in play in all shift positions, just like the tires.
