6 gear trans gearing question with motor combo?

So as of now I am keeping the 6 gear and doing a little modifying thanks to lowclasscc and was wondering about what kind of gearing I can go with my set up. I have a 27t P2K2 Pro motor and was thinking of going 81/24, is this possible or will I run into issues? I have done some searches but no one has said if they run into issues. Any input would be great, looking forward to buying some parts this week.

Here is my setup:
Reedy 17t Radon.
76 spur
25 pinion

76/25 * 1.83 (assuming ratio from 6 gear tranny) = 5.56 (48 pitch)

Feedback from another forum member:
87/20 would be better for a 6 gear tranny

Granted my motor is lower turn than yours so I wanted some more torque and I am only running in the yard.

I also went with b2/3 cvd's (3/16") and new tires which are a bit larger than the original.
