Default Possible to change gear ratios on 94 Accord?

I was just wondering how some accord's are boosted with the f22 engine and the stock tranny...You would have some nice acceleration but the top speed would still basically be the same. I do not have a turbo but I was curious if i could change my gear ratios so at 75mph im not at 3000rpm. Before you say it I know the gearing was made for good fuel economy but I was wondering if I could use the gear ratios to my advantage to keep it at lower rpms at higher speeds.....What do you guys think?

thats really unnecesary.....as long as the turbo isnt tiny, you probably wont be in boost at 3k...i guess you could get a different final drive...but the longer the gears are, the acceleration gets worse

I was looking for more a of higher 5th gear ratio as I know that higher gearing will suffer acceleration. To me it seems that 4th and 5th gear ratio dont differ much as far as the ex goes. Where can I go about doing this?
