I know that miatas have a quite short 5th gear ratios (don't ask me what years or gear ratios etc). Some people have changed the 5th gear to an RX-7 5th gear succesfully. I beleive it's a drop in mod, so we should be able to use miata 5th gear ratios. I think the 1.6L miata's would have the shortest 5th and IIRC they do ~4000RPM at 80mph in 5th gear with a 4.3 rear end. It also bugs me that there is no power in 5th gear. But if you have a shorter 5th, then your fuel milage will drop. Remember, it takes gas to make power, so if you have more power you'll use more gas. Check out miata.net for miata info.
