Best gears to match my stall If I went with a Yank 3200 stall, should I stick with 3.23 gears or go with 3.73 or 3.43. I'm widening my stock rims to 11" with 315 tires. They are 17" Height
I currently have all bolt ons except converter and gears, don't plan on doing cam/heads or supercharger. Just all bult ons!

The 3.73's will be best for your set up. I am using these gears and love them. With the converter and the 3.73's, it will allow your car to remain the the higher rpm's between shifts. I had 3.42's until I broke my differential. The 3.73's are noticeably faster and more fun to drive. Going from a 3.23 to a 3.42 is not worth the cost.

I'm thinking on maybe just leaving the 3.23 gears, gas is just getting ridiculous, "seriously!" I want to do 3.73 really bad, but man o man.

City gas mileage improves, and highway decreases if your driving habits remain the same. Around town the 3.73 just gears the car forward more, with a 3.42 it has to make more power, or rev higher, to accelerate the same speed. Who really cares about gas mileage anyways, right? It's not like you're driving a dump truck.
