Default How much of a difference.

I have the stock 273 gears.... If I got 323s, or even 373s, how much of a difference would I notice? What about quarter mile difference? Thanks guys!

I have a 98 Z28 A4 with 2.73s 113K miles pretty much stock went 13.77@102.76 w/2.08 60ft, changed to 3.42s two weeks later and went 13.62@101.53 w/1.996 60ft. Not as much difference as I wanted to see but I think the 3.42s will show themselves off more as I do more mods. The seat of the pants says it feels way better but it didnt show up on the time slip!
