If I was doing it I would run a E85 Stg 2 tune Header and exhaust push it with 4.88 gears or 4.56 and zing the motor 7500 rpm.
Going close ratio trans gearing would not help near as much as adding power and would cost you at least twice as much.
Good luck, keep me posted on your results..

I already have headers and 7450 rev limit, so extra 50 rpm wont solve anything. So this is not a choice between headers or close gears. I expect from close gear to get usable shifting range/length on 2nd, because with 4.88 FD it will be too short. E85, headers or anything else wont fix this.
I will get E85 tune soon eitherway.
