I think your diff ratio is the best available, leave it alone. Find a 5 speed with an overdrive like the Tremec TKO wth a 0.68 or 0.63 5th gear. Then, you will keep your great acceleration and have low RPM cruising. I run a 3.73 rear end and with the TKO's 0.68 5th gear I cruise the freeway at 80 and 2700 RPM. I kinda wish I had gone with the 3.50 rear end for even better gas mileage on long runs. You must have the 0.83 5th gear and that's the problem. It may be possible to swap the 5th gear in your trans.
