2.79 probably. It will have a lot more pep with a better gear, but you also limit your top speed and mileage on the highway. More gear is better with cars that have overdrives.
Is it hard to change gears yourself? I thought it might just be removing the axle cover and taking the gear out and putting the new one in, but think it might be harder then that.

Yes, there is much more to it than that. If you dont know what you're doing you better have a shop do it, or you'll have a very noisy, annoying problem. The gears need to be aligned correctly using some sort of magnetic tool, i dont know the whole process, only watched a video on it. Also, your axles will probably need new bearings pressed on, which requires a shop press. The gears alone cost around 200, and the shop will probably charge you 300+ for labor. So you're looking at around 500-600 to have gears swapped.
If you have to ask how to do gears, don't do them. It will end up being a very expensive mistake. I have set up rears, but still prefer having shops do it since it's a pia.
