It has an overdrive, 5th gear is .811:1 Much taller and there won't be enough power to use in the first place.

You could get larger tires, that would lower your overall ratio, but your indicated speed-to-RPM correlation will not change. Indicated 70 will still turn 3300 RPM (or whatnot) but you'll actually be doing 75 or so.
