on a 1.9 60' that is about right. I was running 11.4 on a 125 shot,3.42s and cam with minimal bolt-ons with a 1.6x 60'.
As for your question, i think you'd be fine with 3.73s but from what ive read, you wont see much of a difference from 3.42s

Stay with 3.73's unless you worried about 100's... as I do not think you would full 10th of a second off your time.
BUY some DR's! a 1.9x short time is pitiful and for every .1 you pull off there you get almost -.2 at the end of the 1/4 mile.

i run a 26x11.5x16 m&h racemaster cheeter slick(like a et street but hooks way better)i don't even come close to running out of gear. NOW-my rev is set at 6,800,i shift at 6,500 and cross the traps at 5,900rpm's in 4th gear. the 3.73 was a nice gear,i did like it alot,but the 4.11 has done better for me. DEBAIN DOG-says you will not gain a tenth,but he also says every .1 you pull off the 60's you gain near .2 in the 4th right? well as i said my 60's droped from 1.79 to a 1.61 with no other changes but a 4.11 gear swap,you do the math. i now pull 1.5 60's with nothing but a tire swap.m&h racemasters www.intercotire.com it's also funny he has an a4 but trying to tell you what gear is better for a stick. it's the same as people saying m/t tires are the best,but they never tried m&h,hoosier or goodyear's remember i had 3.42's,3.73's and 4.11's i've been there and i'm now going to try 4.30's. goodluck to ya.

My rev limit on my cam only car is set at 6900 rpms and I shift at 6700-6800 rpms, and I'm only crossing the traps at around 6000 rpms in 4th gear. I'll be switching to 4.30s because 4.11s aren't quite enough gear anymore it seems...
