Default Effects of larger tires on Performance

How will 33"/ 34"/ 35" tires effect the performance of the 3.8 engine. Even with the 4:11 axle ratio I'm sure the engine will suffer with the larger tires. But how much performance are you losing by going with the larger tires ??? Will the engine turn into a "dog" with larger tires.
Also what will the larger tires reduce the 4:11 gears to (3:90's / 3:73's /3:50 ????? Thanks Chris :confused:
