Default 4.10's in 6th gear

looking into maybe getting some 4.10's for my 98 z28. i dont car too much about city driving but i do car about highway as i commute from college to my home (300 mile round trip) several times per month. i am getting around 28-29 mpgs highway right now, how badly is it gonna effect my 6th gear?

google search for t-56 gear ratios

I rev 2,000 rpms @ around 70, I was ave with no tune, lid, LT headers and ct back 3750 weight about 24-25 mpg, windows up, no a/c on cruise control. A tune would help it but ive been busy.
