I went 4.10's. I went from 27+ mpg to 25+ mpg at 80mph. I think the rpms are only another 600-700 more in 6th than with the 3.42's. I recall b4 the swap that I was only around 1400-1500 rpms in 6th @ 65 mph....but who drives 65 mph in a 65 speed zone on the freeways?

You'll get through the early gears faster, but isn't that the point?
