Default 4:10 GEARS INSTALLED QUESTION

I WENT FROM STOCK GEARS 3:08 TO 4:10 GEARS AND HAD THEM INSTALLED AT THE DEALERSHIP.

IM NOT NOTICING ANY MAJOR IMPROVEMENT IN ACCELERATION. Does it take time for the gears to break in or something, or does that mean its the engine not producing enough power?

the rpms climp up on the highway now though.

see my sig
