Default Performance Axle

Can anyone illuminate me about the performance axle option (vs. stock) with the automatic transmission as far as:
How does it affect 0-60 time?
How does it affect top speed?
How does it affect mileage?
Are there any durablility issues (better/worse than stock)?

3:15 drive better, respond better from stop and only marginal mpg effect...lots of folks will not buy a used C5/C6 with 2:73s....SOTP is better.

I have AT and the 3.15, and I get great mileage. I average 25 - 27 on the road and a little over 20 in town. Got 25.4 average on the 4000 mile round trip to Bowling Green in April, with some city driving in the mix.
