Kinda defeats the purpose if you have to change every time you want to go on a longer highway trip tho. I know some guys do the swap quick but I'm not that good.
I've got 3.55's with a 27" tire and it's okay, but still revving high for me at 60mph. Doesn't really matter that much for me because I don't take my car out on the highway much anyway. 3.55's are a compromise gear. They'll cruise on the highway and they'll race down the strip, but they won't do either one that well. However I still think they're a better middle ground than 3.23's. But if you've got 3.23's already, is it worth the $ to change to 3.55's? IMO, no. Play with the speed/rpm calculator linked to a few posts up and get a feel for what you can handle. I think 3.73's would give me a little more punch and not give up much on the highway, but again, not worth the $ for that little of a change.
