any gearing gurus here?

My '74 gearbox is in the shop in need of repair. I'm considering changing to a lower 4th and 5th.

The 3.0 w/ Mod S cams and carbs makes between 210 and 215 hp at around 6300 peak.

The current gears are
1st 35/11
2nd 33/18
3rd 29/23
4th 25/27
5th 21/29

7:31 r/p

I think these are the same gears as the 73 RS.

The shop that has the box has a 26/25 4th and 24/27 5th that he recommended.

How does this sound?
