I'm curious about this also. I have 2:73's right now and the guy at the speed shop said I should switch to the thinner 3 series for my 3:42's. He said the gear whine would drive me nuts so I'm switching to 3 series. I would have thought the thicker gears would be stronger, but he said it didn't really matter much. I just don't wanna spend all this money and have my rear end go out on me!
