Default Are they worth it??Gears

Tomorrow im supposed to get 3.73's on...I was wondering if it was worth it?? I think so since i dont plan on a 12 bolt for a while.

And are 3.73's noticble compared to the stock 3.42's?

I went from a 12.51 to a 12.19 @114. switching from 3.42's to 4.11's. And that was slipping the clutch, tring to be easy on the rear. I think it'll do a little better then that, that was the first time out.

I have a used spec clutch I'll sell ya cheap! It worked good when I took it out, I rebuilt the tranny and went with the oz700 clutch.

With a stock converter you'll see a huge differance, up to a .5 gain from what I have seen. If you have a good aftermarket converter you might only see a .1-.15 gain from the swap. Either way, the car will feel faster.
