I think using the P90 gear reduction is a great idea by using it reversed to increase the rpm!!! It now becomes an overdrive!!!

One potential problem with using the reduction gearing in reverse "overdrive" if you will, is that it will definitely significantly increase the load on the engine when doing so!
