Is there any way you could swap in a taller 5th gear from another drivetrain?
Have you considered using a custom cam with late intake closing to produce a Miller/Atkinson cycle effect?
Unfortunately my Honda doesn't have oil squirters. I'm going to tighten up the clearances next year with the new engine.

I do need a taller 5th gear so i'm going to be swapping in a VX 5th gear.

I'm looking at having a custom cam ground to take advantage of the Miller/Atkinson effect. When I do this I will probably have to increase the compression though?
