Thumbs up 4.77

OK, I blew my rear-end about 3 weeks ago and i was wondering if anyone has experience with 4.77 gears. I had to get these so that my car would be ready before i get my license back the 25 of this month. I'm worried about how high the rpms will be cruising on the highway.

Its a very high gearing for the Ap2. I personally would've went with a 4.57 in there. You're going to hate yourself if you frequently use the interstate.
