You will notice better acceleration, as you increase the gear, but you will also notice a slower top end speed and higher revs to get there.

It won't give you any more power, but it will increase rear-wheel torque if you lower (numerically increase) the ratio.

Lower gears (higher number) will improve your rear wheel torque.
Torque is multiplied through your ratio. So whatever torque your getting once it has passed through your tranny - it will be multiplied by your rear end gear ratio. I wouldn't go to 4.10s if you have stock tires cause your gas mileage will hurt due to pretty high revves going down the highway.

or if you have a 2.73 rearend like me you have less torque at the wheels. But is perfect for highway driving and comuting to school
