It will improve your off the line response and not change your "highway" ratio at all. Ir; /html/tigers/2013-08/msg00030.html (9,236 bytes)

For example, going from 2.88 to 3.07 would give a ratio of 1.066. Taking this times the RPM at a speed using 2.88 gears and mu; /html/tigers/2013-08/msg00038.html (11,414 bytes)
