Perhaps...but gear ratios are not always the case of "the taller the better" heh

For around town driving you don't want to have to put your foot to the floor while the car tries to catch up.

no doubt that the torque converter takes care of the different diff on takeoff and then you reap the benifits when crusing. But just remember that a taller rear end is not always the best thing in the world. For example, extreme case, a 2.00 diff would be horrid
