easiest way to solve your question is look at how you drive now. look at your current shift points and your typical cruising speed/gear, and then compare the effect of taller gearing. the change in rpms is linear, so 5% change in gearing is a 5% change in your rpms.

few members here went with taller gears, and the only regret is those who didn't go high enough. search around and you'll see threads on this. if you're only going 5% change, i say don't even bother then and save your money. the limited slip alone would put a big smile on your face.

Yea I guess I was not really being apples for apples as my experience with my 4:10 rear on my charger was always making my motor sing on the high way so extended drives got a little worried about my engine grate for stop light take offs though. I was just saying his rear end is a good rear end for a daily driver that's all.

So yea it be like knocking it over to sport mode.
