It won't rev any higher because your rev limiter will not change. A 4.56 is about 26% steeper than a 4.10. I vote to do it and wish I could do it. Have you looked into getting a new carrier? I think 4.30 is the steepest that will fit in a stock carrier.

A gear will do just that. It will get you to the power band much quicker than stock. Stock gears are stupid, I still don't know why Ford put such a weak gear in these things. If you're staying NA, go as steep as you can.

well the 3.31 first gears sucks in t45s so i want a lower first gear to so what u think about 410s with the 295 first gear im thinking with a wide tire it should hook up and go good. ya i know i have 327s they suck unless u are on the high way doing like 70 lol

4.56's might be too short for the freeway if you drive a lot, but if you don't and your car sees a lot of race action with nice wide drag radials the gooo for it man let us know your 60' times haha
