Now the question is how much torque is needed?

Engine torque required to drive the car with 1:1 and 3.45 will be less than engine torqure need to drive 1:0.8 and 3.15.
After regearing you will require more torque at a much lower RPM, it should be do-able.
It loooks like There may be the option to re time the Cams to increase lower RPM torque..

That needs further investigation
