Just a thought but if you gear up the rear diff won't you have high revs at high way speeds?

I haven't looked at the diff gear ratios yet. Currently where my car sits it wont really do above 190 kph (at least definitely not safely) but that is not near redline at that speed. Its just that the engine is straining at that speed, so enginewise I think it can do a bit more, but gearwise I think it is close to max.

It will rev higher in every gear and my gas mileage will go down. Its like having smaller wheels, the engine turns more times for every turn of the wheels. But, depending on the gear set i buy, i will go from about 190 lbs of torque to 325 ish. My speedometer will also be off, saying that i will be going faster then i will actually be going. Odometer is effected the same way.
