whoa....you're totally running out of gear!

My only suggestion is a custom final drive (ring gear and countershaft), to give you longer gears. (you can get one from http://www.housemanautosport.com for about 1000)

Are there any trannies you can bolt on with longer gears?

The 90-91's first and third gears are shorter (numerically higher) then the type-r's gearing with a similar final drive. This is the reason that 90-91's accelerate about .5 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile compared to the 88-89's.
