I'm thinking of going from stock 2.73's to3.73's, do you think I'll notice a big difference? I'm also having my trans rebuilt, what kind of converter should I use? It's a 1996 Z28, does anyone recommend changing tire size? I do drive the car.

The gear swap will be a huge difference, far as stall, again, what year car? Stick to a 2800, with 3.73s that car will run real good, be screaming for some long tubes and drag radials if you dotn already have them. Any case 3.73s and a 2800 stall, will wake that thing up, those two mods couples with a cat back, cold air and a set of drag radials will put a stock LT1 in to the real low 13s.

upper 12s if he's using the stall. It will run low 13s just with the gear swap. Especially from 2.73s. Make sure you do all the free-bee tricks. Throttle body, etc.
You shouldn't have any problems mustering a 12 second run with the gears, stall, cai, free mods. You may even look for a tune for all your mods. Possibly some low 12s with that tune. Ok, that's here in maryland, hell everything runs better here, lol.
