Tire for the first change.
If you change gear ratio it might upset it too much and you might have to end up with a 1.96 low gear in the tranny. Expensive changes. The gear is about a 7% change. 8,000 - 7% = 7,440
1.80 x 4.88 = 8.78 1.80 x 4.56 = 8.20
That is 7% diff in overall low gear.
See the 7% goes all the way back up the power train. It might even upset the stall or hit on your converter
