Not to intentionally irritate Y'all, but I'm now having to drive faster to get better MPG due to a recent modification.

I used to be able to do 40 MPH in 45 zones in 5th gear, but now I have to do 50 in order to not lug the engine or hunt on/off the throttle after changing from a 3.46 diff to a 2.93 diff.
