Increasing the ring and pinion ratio will sacrifice top speed in favor of acceleration. Like you said though, you don't really need to run at top speed. However, it will raise the RPM for a given speed. So if previously you were cruising at 70 mph at 3K RPM, now you might be cruising at 70 mph at 3.4K RPM. That kind of thing.


It's a pretty popular mod for the A/T guys; there are plenty of threads about it.
