There is a whole gear that is basically doing us no good most of the time. Isn't it better to spread that usable range out over more gears? Sure it will cause some annoying changes in when and where you shift, but the net effect should be a more usable range of torque. And then if we did top out 5th gear, then 6th would still be available.
i dont know about you, but if my gearing was any shorter id need 6th for ACS, which i dont wanna do cause it'll slow me down, since 6th is over drive

this is how i feel, i think the 370 gearing on socal tracks with 18s is pretty spot on
