Adding 775's to the drivetrain may not be such a good idea anyway. The RS-775 is cooled by a fan on its shaft, so when it stalls or is under high load it stops being cooled and will burn out much faster than a CIM or Mini-CIM, which use their high thermal masses to keep from burning out.

Your drivetrain is power limited in high gear so stall and near-stall conditions should be expected at some times. If you want better acceleration in high gear then you should consider an option that would allow you to add Mini-CIMs.
