Opinions differ, but not exactly screaming... it is only about a 11% RPM increase over stock.

And BTW - Although a bit of a hassle to import, my 4.56 gears are Toyota OEM from a Crown!
I’m not saying the difference between 4.3 and 4.56 is “screaming vs not screaming”, I’m saying even with the 4.3 diff the RPMs @ 80mph are very high. Going from 4.1 to 4.3, I personally wouldn’t want the RPMs to be any higher than they currently are driving 80+mph down the highway.

I never said this is something that would bother everybody else lol I speak for no one but myself.
