The Si trannies have a shorter gear than the HF and the lower other lower models. This results in a little higher RPM, nothing to worry about.

will it cause to much stress on the weaker engine?

Engine isnt necessarily weaker (not in stock form anyway). But the way it was built and the cam it has in it wont let it make a whole lot of power up top anyway. It was made for high mpg cruising, but no it wont hurt it..unless its got like 250k mi on it lol.

That if you push it real hard you will begin to burn oil.

Not to worry thats a good upgrade from Dx to Si. Definitely shorter gears which gets you out of the hole faster and well worth it. :bigthumb:
