Default TP4400 + BIG cam vs ST3500 + BIG cam...??

I currently have a ST3500 and Grott 1 3/4 LTs. I like the setup and have done very well with it. Next week I have a cam with 230/226 with lift in 570s with a 111 duration going in...hehe <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
Anyways, I want to have my Yank redone to a TP4400 and put a 3.73 gear in it's place. Here's the question...
How much can I gain by going from BIG cam and 3500 to same BIG cam with the 4400 and 3.73s?
Am I looking at a tenth, three tenths, nada?
Help me out please. Also, do I have to worry more about rear end issues with the 4400/3.73 setup?
Nick

With that power, make sure your AAA is up to date. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Some guys survive but others break the axles, posi's or gears.

The TC & gears should be worth .2, maybe more if you get it all to hook-up cleanly.

Drivability is definitely on its way down with the cam/TC/gears. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
