I didn't go back and search for the discussions, but I thought the
modified ratios were in the low gears.

I could be mixing 6 vs 5 with the strengthened 2nd? gear for the
urS4/6

My bug is being here in Boulder and often driving at 10,000+ feet, the
starting ratios could use some help.  If the spread is in the upper
gears,
I can't even think of a track around here where we would get much use
out of high ratio changes.  I could see making good use of 4-5-6 mods on 
the Peak-to-Peak when there's not much traffic.
