The less aggressive gearing doesn't keep the car in the v-takkk powerband when you redline and shift tho....the tranny and engine were made for each other IMO, doesn't make a whole lot of sense to swap one and not the other. They are compatible though, and i don't see why the engine would throw a CEL.

From what I understand, you wouldn't run into any problems. I don't know why you'd do it unless you were going to go FI though.
