I guess your correct, the rpmdifferencewith the4.10's is not much, and hell my company pays for the gas anyways... I bet it will do fine in O/D on the highways too. How about top end, will I lose a lot of top end speed going to that steep of a gear?

4.10 - 4.30 honestly is the best gear for both low end acceleration and top end speed

around town gas mileage will get better with any gear upgrade on a car with overdrive, but highway gas will get worse
