actually the ZC tranny is closer spaced for smaller rpm drops between shifts.. but the final drive is much taller than the Si tranny, so it will rev lower on the highway.
the best performance setup would be to use a ZC tranny (for the equal length halfshafts) using the Si final drive to shorten the gearing a bit for better acceleration
in terms of revving high on the highway, doesnt bother me
at 80mph the integra is spinning a hair over 4000rpm in 5th gear, and the nissan is spinning a hair under 4000rpm in 5th (the CRX spins under 2500rpm
)
