With my GSR, my car pulls in 5th gear at like 50. Not as fast, but it doesn't slug back and take for ever to pick up speed. I use cruise control on the highway.. and I can pass people by hitting the accel button LOL

With my redline, 3rd gear takes me to about 96mph. My shift light is my CEL and it lights up at 8300

you're not going to see any difference through 1st and 2nd... above that the ratio's are placed closer for acceleration... you probably won't see much difference in the city, but you will be running a fair bit higher on the freeway.
Remember that you're also only going to only see that acceleration increase on the highway... just food for thought

the 4.4 FD of the GSR offers more torque multiplication in all gears.
the 4.26 FD, longer 3rd 4th and 5th gears in the LS can still be felt around town.
yeah first and 2nd are numerically the same between the two, but the FD is what makes up for it

Yeah, I have the 4.26 in my EF & it accelerates a little quicker than my Gsr 4.40 but on highway it's @4.5 at 80. Also I noticed the difference in my EF say driving & come to a stop at traffic light red then change green I dont have to shift in lower gear to take off. Now if I did the same thing in my Gsr it would buck & stall.

how come you say you wont see a difference?

I've been in RWD mode and didn't even look at the FD
I really need to bone up if I'm going to start posting up here again
