great low end, horrible top end. your 0-60 times will increase, but your 60-100 times will decrease. Right now you probably cruise the interstate doing 70mph around 3000rpms, now you'll do 70mph doing 4500 or so rpms. Your gas mileage will decrease the faster you go as well, since the rpms will be higher. But you'll shoot out of the hole fast

Which is great of you do a good amount of in town driving. I've always thought 4:10 was a good gear ratio in a full size. Just my opinion.

I will take the other side of this.

I would not.

Gas is $$$.

The country is in debt being run by idiots.

The economy could get worse, and gas could go back to the $4.00 mark.

You would be faster out the hole though.

I think you should do it.
