2.73 to 3.73 NEW TIMES???
My car ran a 7.1x @ 98 last time at the track. This was with stock 2.73 gears.
I am in the process of putting 3.73s in now and was wondering what kind of times people of seen with this swap...I'm hoping for a 7.9x at least maybe even 7.8x Does this sound pretty close??
I will also be going to a 28 inch tire instead of the stock size so that will offset a little of the gear ratio i know

Your old time was a 7.1x, but you're hoping for a 7.9x now? Was there a typo somewhere?
As for gains, I think it depends more on the rest of your setup. With the right combo 2.73s can go 10s/11s in the 1/4. But the wrong combo with any set of gears won't get you to your goals. It might help to list the rest of your mods. I don't have any experience with 2.73s to 3.73s, but I will be switching from 3.42s to 2.73s this season, and I'll post my results in here

sorry....I meant 6.9x and 6.8. Here's the setup
fully forged 408 Iron block
ETP 225 heads
244/248 610/610 113 cam
QTP longtubes with tsp true dual exhaust
4k stall
90/90 intake/TB
Also my 60ft was only 1.78 with the 7.1x run I really think this thing should be in the low 1.6x range on motor
