Default 3.73:1 gears going in tomorrow

Could anyone tell me what kind of performance change I should expect? Im really pumped about getting it but I don't want to get to high of expectations.

You have an automatic I take it? Should make it a lot more punchy. Nice Lotus BTW.

Would help if you put what gears you are going FROM... If its 2.73's, half a second in the 1/4. 3.23's, 3-4 tenths. Huge difference from 2.73's, gas mileage almost unaffected for me.

I am going from 2.73's and it is an auto. I forgot to mention that.

Thanks for the Lotus comment. I think its a favorite for a few LS1 guys. And I don't mean in a "hey I want that car" But more in a "hey..Im gonna kill this guy on the highway" hahahaha
