Through a T50 and a 3.9 diff, 100km/h is 3200rpm in 5th gear.
4.5 will therefore give you about 3700rpm at 100 (assuming the SR20 box has a similar 5th ratio to a T50).
Possibly a bit short in my opinion. Great for rally but maybe not great for road use.
However, with an SR20 in such a light car I doubt the diff ratio will matter too much, you'll have enough torque everywhere to do whatever you want to do.
