I`d like to drop a couple hundred RPM`s off those numbers.
And a rear gear swap is CONSIDERABLY cheaper than buying a new trans.
Going to a higher gear, I`m not too terribly worried about losing low end torque/power cause that motor has a lot of it under 4K rpm`s.....

Sounds like you're confident that your engine can handle the taller rear end well enough. You have a five speed gearbox and a big torquey V8, so no big deal if you feel the need to change down a gear or two to power past other vehicles on the open road.
