    Effective gear ratio will now be in the neighborhood of 2.3. That is pretty tall. It will be more doggy out of the hole, and performance throughout will be a little more sluggish. Gas milage may or may not improve depending on where the engine is in it's power band and how hard it will be working at the speeds you drive.

    Only real way to know is to bolt them on and see.
