Default 4000 stall/gears?

Hey guys, i just had a 4000 yank installed on my car. Its had a tune after wards. The car is a bit loose for street driving. I drive it mainly to work and around town. It sees a little highway use. Would a gear swap make any difference, as in tightening up the converter. If so how much? Its got the stock 3.23 SS gears option. Thanks.

yep, will tighten up the converter , as to how much? the more gear the better. 3.73 may be best in the 10 bolt, 3.90 be better but the higher you go the smaller the teeth on the gear set

When I switched to 3.73s my part throttle tightened up about 500 rpms.
