Standard GTI is geared at about 20mph per 1000 rpm so 60 at 3200 about matches that. A gearbox from a MK2 1.6/1.8 carb is about 24/25mph per 1000rpm but that will make the power appear to be about 20-25% less. I guess you went 16v (2.0L ?) for more power, higher gearing will just negate that increase and put you back were you started :dontknow:
1983 Mars Red 1.8 Golf GTI
1987 Alpine White 1.8 Clipper Cabriolet
The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
