I'm with you on the 4.56's but I use an OD. 2500@60mph, 6200@114mph
For a guy that is mostly around town with shorter jaunts on the highway 4.56's with no OD and 28+ tires is not only fine but in town they are perfect.
I suspect if you were given a GVOD you'd fall in love pretty quick and even your engines couldn't break one.
