2000 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor

Vehicle Weight
3983 lbs

Factory engine specifications
HP: 215hp @ 4,500RPM
TQ: 285 lb.-ft. @ 3,000RPM

Transmission Gear Ratios
1st: 2.84:1
2nd: 1.55:1
3rd: 1.00:1
4th: 0.70 :1

Rear-end Gear Ratio

I drive approximately 80% HWY. Would it be worth my while to swap out the rear ring and pinion? My goal cruising speed is 60 MPH.
