A little, but not a lot....though it will definitely make it wind out less on the highway, which in turn will increase your engine life. However, if you've got a pumpkin with those gears in it, I'd definitely swap it in. I think you'll really like how the truck drives.

I'm going from 3.50 gears to 3.00 gears this weekend with my 390 with a T19 4 speed manual. I'll let you know how it goes.
