4.08 Final drive - feedback please

I've come full circle now. At about 32k miles I swapped to 4.08 gears. Then just about a month ago at 76k miles, I swapped back to the factory 3.69

I've come full circle now. At about 32k miles I swapped to 4.08 gears. Then just about a month ago at 76k miles, I swapped back to the factory 3.69 gears. For the record I've got a 6MT.

I miss having the 4.08's driving around town. Ripping through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear was so fun.

Highway driving is more fun now with the 3.69's. Rolling at 70 then drop it into 3rd and just let it go. Shift to 4th then hold it until .....

Going from 4.08's back to 3.69's makes the car 'feel' slower because it's not revving as quickly.

Why did I swap back to stock gears? Got tired of the gear whine.
