I.e. at a given speed the engine ravs higher?

Makes the car quicker.
It is similar to starting out in a lower gear than we already have. But it keeps it through all the gears. So effectively the car gets going quicker. Wouldn't take as long to get up to 150
Downside is it will be at a higher RPM while cruising.
The stock gearing for the final drive is 4.444, the Feed is 4.777.
This makes a significant difference
My uncle has done this to all of the sports cars he owns.
