2.73's will be easier on the rear end. Some Forced induction guys may go this route to compensate for traction and power. it's rarely done

The Firehawk has 3.23 gears right now..(when the rear breaks and we needed something quick..beggers can't be choosers). While the gas mileage is great, it's sluggish off the line. I imagine with 2.73's 6th gear would be almost useless...

Too sluggish, I guess if its free then do it to get you around. Im sure youll be changing them once you get them.

let us know if your clutch wear increases from feathering your rollout in daily driving.

Just think of the joy you'd have with a big cam and 2.73s
