Default Tremec Road Race Gears - Too much RPM @ 5th gear

I just had installed a TKO II with 0.82 overdrive. All is good except 5th gear rev's too high at freeway speeds. I have a 3.73 rear end.. So if i change the rear end to a 3.55, would it make 5th gear tolerable?

Yes, that will work, but it will make your other four gears a little less tolerable
in terms of acceleration though.
