You have a light car, so you'll probably be just fine - especially with a .87 OD. Are you sure the OD is that ratio? I've never seen that ratio in a T5 . . . but there is a first for everything. I've installed special road-race OD gear sets with a ratio of .80 - but that is as close as I've seen to your listed ratio.

What is your 1st gear ratio?
