Not overkill at all. I daily drove that car over 100k miles. I think the stock gearing is a joke on the S. I was getting raped by Dodge Caravans from stop lights. Have you driven an AP1 with gears? It was a completely different car. If I ever get another S, the gears will be the first thing to go unless I went boost. And no, VTEC engaged at 6k stock (which you may know by your screen name) It was still only at about 4800 at 70-75 mph.
