i would switch to 3.23's and put around a 3500 converter in. I have that set up and it still gets 25mpg on the hwy

i would personally just put a converter in tho.

The HO is right.

The gears will definitely help a bit, but not nearly as much as a converter. Although 2.73's do pretty much suck for racing.
