I don't know where you live, but do you really only cruise at 60mph? Around here, even on the two lane black tops traffic moves along at about 70mph.

Anyway, If you're planning on cruising at 2,000, then you must have a fairly mild motor - which is good because they make boat loads of low end torque. The difference between .82 and .91 is so small, you probably won't notice it. But I do see your point.

Call Gordon Levy. He can build you a strong, light weight, and physically small T5 with the OD gear you're looking for. He can also give you a very low first, which would be nice with that 2.88 gear.
