3:73s ARE IN!!
i installed my 3:73s gears on thursday and test drove and programed with hyper tech programer, car feels faster but i noticed that it shifts faster at very low speeds, im doing about 30 and its already going to 4th, it shifts faster from 2 to 3rd, some said i should replace my speed sensor since i have new gears, i didnt adjust my shift points cuz im not sure how to. my speedo works fine now, i programed the gears and tire size (26.5). should i really change my sensor the ABS light doenst come on. i went from 2:73 to 3:73

Thats how mine is too, since the RPMs are going to be higher for any given speed, it can upshift at a lower speed and still be in the correct RPM range. I've noticed that my converter locks up at 40 MPH instead of 45 MPH when I had my 3.23s.

When I went from 2.73 to 3.73 gears, I tried to use my Hypertech to reprogram the trans. The handheld just wasn't able to do it correctly. Later on I had my car professionally tuned, and that's when everything was sorted out correctly. Yes, it's going to shift a lot sooner now, but you'll eventually adjust your driving style to fit it. Just give it some time...
