Default 3.23 --> 3.73 gears with Y3000 ?

Sup everybody, have a question :

I have the stock 3.23 rear end and a Y3000 (see sig for other bolt-ons). I am getting the rear torn apart to fix the clunking and am thinking of throwing in 3.73 gears while it's apart.

Thoughts/comments ?

What would the freeway RPMs at 80 MPH ?

I have HPP3 to change speedo with. Anything else ?

Thanks !

You'll gain a .1 at the track, but SOTP feels like more on the street.

My tach shows 2500 rpms at 73 mph.

You'll go about a tenth faster in the 1/4 mile with 3.73 gears and a Yank 3000. Your gas mileage will drop about 2 mpgs on the highway and your cruise rpms will be about 2800-2900 at 80 mph.
