Default 3.42's vs 3.73's
Would be be any notable difference between the two?? Or is it not even worth the money to make the jump?? Thanks guys.

If you have 3.42s already i heard the jump to 3.73 is not worth it.

There will be a difference, but not enough IMO to justify the swap. With your current mods, 4.10's would be great.

You should consider 3.73's only if you plan to go over 400rwtq.

It depends on your setup? With my turbo M6 car 3.42 is better. But the general rule is tire size a 3.73 is better with a tall tire like 28".

Do the V6 and V8's have the same rear end?
