3.36 vs 2.93

[Misfit]

With domestics, I know that a gear swap is probably the best bang for the buck. Then again, their choices are nearly unlimited.

In a quest for improving part throttle response, I got to thinking about changing gear ratios. My XE has the 2.93 ratio. Would it be worth the trouble, in terms of performance, to swap over to 3.36 gears?

I know that I'll need an ECU reflash to keep the speedometer and cc working properly.

What about even lower gears? I think they are available, but do I lose cruise control function and accurate speedometer? Can UpRev fix any of this?

With a lower gear ratio, I know that it will be even more important to get truetrac.

I wish I could find a complete axle with truetrac and lower gears already installed. I could swap the axle out over the weekend and not worry with the hassle of finding a shop to do the work.
