Default Gains from 3.23 to 3.73

Looking for track gains not seat of pants feel. i have 3.23 now and pull some 1.65 60'. But trying to get in to the 11's and wondering if it's even worth the $$.

I'm sure it'll help some but probably won't put you in the 11's with your current mods. I hear it's a pricey mod too. I'd save my money and do a cam or nitrous.

some gain some dont.
i went to 3.73's from 3.23's in my old 93. i gained MAYBE .05-.1 that kind of time could have been due to the change in weather and whatnot. gears are a fun mod, but they dont yeild the best gains per dollar like alot of other mods would do. you'll spend around 4-500 if you do gears and change all the bearings out as well.
