Try to see the whole picture.
I did the calculations for all gears and you are right. At a track where you get into 5th gear, the 4.56 is very likely to produce slower lap times. Plus your top speed is likely limited to 5ths top of 114MPH (vs 126 stock) since shifting into 6th generally makes you go backwards a few MPH and not much chance of further useful acceleration.

Gonna have to go FI to go faster at all the tracks I run at!

I tested a few weeks ago the HKS supercharger (version 2). An entirely different car. It was pulling extremely hard especially in the mid rev range. Personally I won't install it because my car is also fun in stock form, but if you want top lap times then it is the good choice.

41201-19557 is the part number for the Toyota 4.56 ring and pinion gear set.

The availability of this part varies by region - the Toyota dealers in North America can not order it but some other markets can. I had to order from Japan...

Do you mean you couldn't find an email, or they didn't get back to you?

I've communicated with them before using this email I believe:

Spence_weir@sbcglobal.net

I was going to get a FD from him, but when I got another car instead of the FRS, I no longer needed one.

Hint: the Toyota 4:56 ring and pinion can be bought and shipped from Japan for about $500. Not as cheap as the weir set, but oem quiet and half the Cusco price

I'm surprised you haven't heard back from weir yet via email (maybe it was filtered or blocked). Perhaps give them a phone call before moving on to a different source entirely:

707-315-6638

Currently 389 USD; but need to add in fees and shipping - I came in under $500.

Shipping took 3 weeks for SAL

I am in the same position of Teseo. I wrote them 1 week ago, also call them to that number but they won't pick up and their voicemail is full
