I take it you have a M6..that being said, It wouldn't be a waste of time. You will notice a big change. Look into the GM brand gears if you do switch.

the best thing i like about the 4.10's is it makes 6th gear feel better. i can use 6th gear just about anywhere. not just on the interstate.

i have 3.73's from 3.42's and i feel a difference. i can go into 6th at about 55 and be at i believe around 12-1300.

my gas mileage did go down too. i only get around 160 a tank, but i do alot of intonwn driving

almost cutting 1.8's on stock suspension with them, little more seat time and i see it very possible =]

I'd be interested in highway speed/rpm as well. I feel like I have 4.10's mainly because I can cruise at 35 in 6th but ive never been sure. I think 6th gear at 70 mph for me is about 1600 rpm.

If you want to change the rear ratio then you want a gear/tire that will complement your power band the best whether it be 3.73, 4.10 or 4.88 for that matter.
Where is your power peak? What size tire are you running?

To answer your question, it probably wont trap any higher, but it will ET better, provided you can hook.

IMO

I went from 2.73 to 4.10, night and day. Its a hell of a lot better launch. I gotta say tho high way milage sucks. i went from like 1400-1500rpm at about 65mph to 2500rpm at 65mph
