Dan,

  I forgot to attach the Excel spreadsheet I created to make the 
calculations so here you go.

I've been thinking about installing the taller 5th gear in The Beast, to 
more easily dust The Dawg at a Silver State some day.
However, The Beast needs to be in the 4,000 to 7,000 rpm range to really 
scream on the track.
Does anyone know how the rpm drop would compare when shifting from 4th to 
5th?
