Default Gears for next mod? Need advice...

Hey ya'll, just curious if stepping up to a 3.42 or 3.73 gear would improve my 1/4 times enough to warrant changing them out. My mods are in my sig along with my current best. My 60ft for that run was 1.68 if that is important. I've done a search but there does'nt seem to be a firm answer whether it is worthwhile . Anybody have any suggestions? Currently have 3.23's. Thanks

Sure. Never fear the gear. Or something like that.

Actually, I don't really know much about automatic gearing to give an answer.

with a converter, gears give .07 -.1 ET improvement and 1 MPH trap gain.

If your stock gears are quite and this is your daily driver, you might want to leave them alone.
