You're gonna notice a little better take-off...as in more "punch".
You'll also notice higher engine RPMs as you're cruizin down the road...not a lot, but it will be noticeable.
You'll notice yer speedometer is now off, too...it's gonna read faster than actual speed, unless you change your speed-o gear in the trans. Not a big job, tho.
The 3:55 gears were stock in the automatics...
