how much gain from 3.73s?
I have 97 z28 with stock 2.73 gears just wondering if anybody knows how much my track time will improve if I get the 3.73s.my 60ft is really killing me when i run so if you could post before and after times it would give me an idea on how much I will improve.thank you.

I have 275s all the way around they're just street tires but they do the trick I jus chirp first and second gear in my A4.I'm getting the converter real soon its just that I've seen gears for cheaper and I've heard theyr easier to put in. As far as my 60ft I'm doing anywhere from a 2.10 to 2.30..I also think I need a tune because I put true duals in and it sounds like its running rich..the duals helped at the track tho

I never understand all this MPG talk when it comes to gears. I went from 3.42s(m6) to 4.11s, no noticeable change in gas mileage. So what is the story, does the A4 just suck in regards to rear gear changes and mileage, or are people constantly bringing up an invalid point?

Lt1s with a4s like 3.73s especially with a 3600 stall,people have gone with 3.42s to save cash and the results in the 1/4 are similar.
All of the 2.73 geared Lt1s i have converted have gained substantially. I would rather purchase a used 3.42 complete rear for 150.00- or so than to spend 500+ on a 3.73 instal the extra money can go to a decent stall.

3.23s.. all RAM air models came with that option standard. Base models have the choice of 323s with 273s being standard.

Just get a set of 3.42's from some guy with a m6 that is doing a gear swap. you can get them pretty cheap.
They are stronger than 3.73's and will produce better mpg's, and give nearly the same performance.

With a manual I went from 3.73's to 4.56's and get the same MPG.
