Default 3.73s and affect on converter

i have 3.23s right now and im swapping to 3.73s. i have a vig 3200 converter right now. ive driven a 3.73/3200 setup and it feels really tight..how will this affect my stall off the line? right now im cutting mid 1.5 60's with the 3.23 gear. should i expect my 60's to suffer and ET to benefit, or will my 60's be the same/better?

If you hook, your 60' should improve by a few hundredths and ET by about a .1. It should add 1 - 2 mph too.

It sure does take some of the looseness out of a converter. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Downside is that street launches require more pedaling.
