Default 3.73 made me slower????

ok i got 3.73 gears in my 99 z28 and it seems im SLOWER then i was with my 3.23..

How is this possible?

Ive raced that red z28 lt1 and beat him but he was pulling on me (he was never pulling on me when i had my stock 3.23).. Raced that 00 ss and had a bad start but wasent pullin on him(would pull on him b4 as well)?

If the car is an auto you need a tune to correct for the gears

Tune? You mean recalibrate the speedo to match the tire speed?

Recalibrate everything. From fuel maps to timing maps.

Your need to have your shift points changed to take full advantage of the new gears.

technically yes, but you could return ur 323 gears, and spend the tuning money on a stall, and then smoke him , for real xD
