Default sts setup rear end gear question ring pinion

I was wondering if I would benefit from a 373 gear set?

do people with turbo setups run 3.73 gears or is everyone using the stock

3.23's or 3.42's??

are tallers gears better in turbo cars such as a 3.08 ratio?

i have a automatic car with a tci 3500 stall /sts kit

my boost is commin in fine as it is but 3rd gear kinda drags

on for a bit and i was thinking a 373 gear would help mysetup.

currenty i am running stock 3.23 gears

You don't want to go any higher than a 355 gear. It helps load the motor, which will help spool the turbo.
