Depends on what your doing with it etc.

Its should be ok for the road.

Pop the diff out and count the teeth on the crown wheel and pinion, then divide the two. HTH

Tyre size may also have an effect on the overall ratio.

BHP will remain the same no matter what final drive you have. The different options will effect the gearing, and as such have some effect in acceleration, but a trade off if the quicker acceleration is lower top speeds per gear.
