Going from 342 to 373 My car is putting down 380rwhp/376rwtq NA and 493/531 on a 100 shot. I will be running a 150 soon as well (after fuel pump install). I am no stranger to the track but I'm not really concerned with setting the car up just for the 1320.
How much of a difference is this gear change going to be for me? Will it help or hurt me on the highway (running from 60-130mph)?
My rev limiter is set at 6600 and normally shift at 6400.
I'm just looking for any feedback concerning the difference in these 2 gears with my setup.

I went from a 3.42 to a 4.11 and hated it (too much whine and rpm's for the street). Then I switched to a 3.73 and never turned back. Yes it will help acceleration (running from 60-130mph) with very little gas milage decrease.
If you drag race alot the 4.11 gear is better with taller than OEM tires.

I guess I'm really concerned with how much difference in mph my shift points are going to become.....wondering where my new 'sweet spots' are going to be.
