Is there a way to change the gear ratio on a 4kq?

[Tyson Varosyan]

2 Diffs, sounds complicated... I don't know, never opened a tranny before.
Swapped plenty of them though. I thought the gear puller route would be
easier.

Look in ETKA for the 016 'UW' or something like that (early 80s coupe I
think). 5th is something like 0.68:1 if I recall correctly. Diff is the
3.89:1. With this on the 200 it worked out to 177MPH or so at 6500rpm.
Unfortunately the first 4 gears on this 016 is even quicker than those on
the 016 used in the 5k/100/200.

What about a diff ratio change?
