if you have a 3H or a ASS gearbox then you are correctly geared, unless you up the power you will gain nothing by upping the gearing. Try putting on slightly bigger tyres and see how it drives; that's a cheaper and easily reversible option.

Seconded on bigger tyres. Made a HUGE difference to the gearing!

Get an chargecooler on the JX and enjoy a lot more power for very little cost or effort!
Thats what Oettinger did and suddenly you have circa 80hp to pull a taller gear or tyres...
