Did this on my auto Mustang GT (travesty, I know, it was purchased before I could drive manual)... and it made a huge difference.
Going to shorter gears. Taller gears would be going from 3.90 to 3.36. Yes factory gear ratio is 3.90 on 4.6. Have never had a car that was stock or got good MPG stock. I check it only if I am concerned there is a problem that isn't showing symptoms.
