How much difference would it make if you posted this question in the talk forum?

Ah another gear thread. Go with something steeper if you want performance. You can prolly sell those and get some steeper ones for about the same $.

Stick with the 3.55's. If you have 2.73's now you'll notice a big difference while also keeping the rev's resonable on the highway.

I too went from 2:73s to 3:55s ... you'll notice a big difference. They are a good all around gear for highway too.

Yeah you can sell them to me!! I am looking to get some 3.55s soon because I drive about 180 miles a week on the highway and I have 2.73s right now. PM me if you do decide to sell them.
