Are you serious, and have you run any numbers on these drive line changes? If you're talking a Tremec 6spd I think that the final drive is 0.5 to one, so assuming a stock diameter tire, 27.5", if you run 2.41 rear gears you'd be at 1031rpm at 70mph, and at 160mph, assuming you could hold it there, would be only 2356rpm. You're just barely into the torque band at 160mph in 6th, and you'd be doing "normal" highway driving in 3rd or 4th. Sounds a bit crazy to me, but to each his own....
