[QUOTE="Tofufi, post: 524368, member: 38"] What engine do you have? I've got a 5 speed 'box in my bay, and the 5th gear ratio is similar to the limebug super flyer gearbox. My 1600 engine (stock except twin DRLA/beetle exhaust) can propel it along quite happily at 70mph/3500rpm on the flat, but on the 4 speed I'd be worried about the gaps between ratios being too great unless you've got a fair bit of power. With the 5 speed, I can drop down to 4th which is similar to the standard gearbox 4th gear. :) If you've got the power, it's amazing the difference an improved set of gear ratios can make to how it sits at speeds.
