I dont care for going to much faster then that where I live and dont get on the highway much. If it should make a differece in acceleration from 0-80 I'm all for it. + I could change them out if I didn't like them.
80mph isn't much with an overdrive tranny especially. if thats your limit you could get away with alot of gear. 4.11's easy.
Go to the equations section of this site. Plug in some numbers and play with the gear ratio..that should give you a rough idea of how much you're willing to live with.
