Yea, ones steeper... LOL..

If you're talking about RPM wise, then do a search and find the online gear calculator on here and see for yourself to what it should be close to..

You will enjoy a 3.73 more than a 3.23, unless you drive 100 miles day.

cruising speed is up about 500 rpms on the hwy. Acceleration is better. You will feel the difference.

How about. Try a search. Take 30 secs instead of making this thread and you will have more information then you can imagine.

I've got 3.73 gears in my 93Z and I don't like them. Of course I drive it on the highway more than anything else. If I could find someone that wanted to switch out rear ends entirely I'd love to be rid of mine. It's great for acceleration but it hits me at the fuel pumps.

The gain totally depends on the car. Take a stock car with a broad powerband and lower gears will help only a little.

Take a car with a big cam with a narrower powerband, those gears will make or break it. Obviously bigger gains will be found with the converter then gears... And don't neglect the fact they "only" see a 0.1s gain, for a cost of $150 bucks that's not bad at all!!! People spend $1,000 on a Fast 90/90 and see that or slightly more then those same gains in the 1/4mi.

It's all relative to the setup.
