2.73 Gears and 3600 Stall
I'm looking to get a 3600 stall. How much impact would changing 2.73 gears to 3.73 gears have after the stall?
I realize some stalls are built on gear ratio, but just wanted to know in general.
Thanks!

The first thing I did to my car was change out the 273's to 373's and it made a huge difference. From what I have been told, I would spin tires more with the 373 gears, but I think that I actually spin less. My next step is a Circle D pro series converter.

Going from 2.73s to 3.73s will make a bigger difference with a stock converter than with a higher stalling converter. You might knock off a half second or more if you have a stock converter. However, if you already have a 3500 stall, for instance, your gain by changing gears may be only 2 tenths.
You'd be amazed what you can do with 2.73s and a 3500+ stall converter.
The nice thing about the 3.73s is how much it'll "tighten" up the part throttle feel of a loose converter.
The 3.23 gears with TCI 3500 stall I have are a great street/strip combo, IMO.

I would change gears and the converter and you will see some tremendous gains. if I were going to keep a 273 gear then I would configure the converter for that . the converter needs to be configured for the entire combination.
