Yes, 3.92 final drive will give you slightly taller gear ratios than the 4.08, but the difference isn't really noticable.

I had the stock open diff from the S13 with the 4.08, would do about 3500rpm at 80mph.

Then I switched to the J30 diff with the 3.92 final drive and now I'm at around 3300rpm doing 80mph.

Not that much difference.

However, now that I've put 17s with 225/45/17 tires on, at 80mph I'm more closer to like 3100rpm. Will be going with 235/40/17s next, so that should bring the rpms right back up to around 3200-3300rpm @ 80mph.
