Or is it a bad idea to temper with it?

Speed isnt an issue as once you get the setup right the car will be quicker than most. Ratio is fine as it is, plenty of room to gear up if using a 5.0, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5
Once we have done the rear its the front next and possibly after that a diff redesign.
