Grant:
Sounds like your complaint may have more to do with gear spacing than overall gearing, right? Unfortunately, 1st and 2nd are both on main shaft which is very expensive to manufacture. Lower R&P won't help that (except vehicle speed will be lower where 2nd has to pull from same rpm). I'm not using my car on the road much (too many tickets and strict law enforcement around here lately). So, I haven't found too much to complain about with the gearing on the track (closer spacing would be nicer though). After warranty, I would consider Guard replacements for 3rd, 4th, and 5th if I wanted to max its performance (along with Guard LSD).
Maybe if budget was not important, a lower Manthey R&P with Guard 3rd - 5th would address all the gearing issues...

Porsche Asia MD has told me the pdk won't fit due to electrics.....a great idea though
you are pointing out r n p will lower everything but it won't fix the rev gap between 1st n 2nd? If the r n p is low enough 2 nd might be low enough to use down to 30 kmh. Which would greatly improve canyon slamming.
Ideally though 2 nd must be lowered then which is unlikely since even Porsche may not see the volume to justify.
your estimate on man they r n p and guard 3,4,5? $25 k usd?
