IMO if the gears changed you Would be over revving and most likely on a rev limiter.
No there is more to give but as the engines are new I’m a little conservative with maxing them

yes but there is a TR drive that was 2:1. not sure if the gears interchange in the housing but I think the housings look the same outside and the decals could be wrong or the wrong gears put in if they interchange in the housings. just trying to look at every possibility.
at the speeds and rpm he his showing it is something like 60% slip with a 1.5:1 and 40% with a 2:1 +/-
