It's only 500 RPM higher, or so i'm told by friend who has final gears.
If i'm going at 120 km/h I am roughly at 4k RPM. He would be going at 4.5k RPM.
I personally find that annoying enough, especially with an exhaust, but if you want the speed you make the sacrifices. If you get final gears you don't need bolt-ons. You pull 2-3 car lengths from a stand-still! Very noticeable in second-third-fourth.
