if mine came with 3.23 from factory, i would then have a 3 series correct? so would his fit no matter if it were a 2 series without problem, or would I need to purchase something else? would I benefit going from 3.23 to 3.73 gearing at all?

I know one type is thinner than the other. I would have to look around to remember. If i had an auto with 3.23 already i would do a converter first. You will get more from a converter than anything. Especially wheel spin

if his are for a 2 series carrier, and you have a 3 series carrier..then im not sure if they would work.but if u had a 2 series and he had a 3 series then you would need a spacer.. alot of people do not advise to use this spacer...
i have motives 373s for a 3 series carrier and i need some for a 2 series cuz my car came with gay 273s...if you find out his are for a 2 series..shoot me a pm

Mike's car had 3.23's with a 2.7 str on his Yank PT4000 stall. That car was murderous from a low roll and ran 10.7's at 3500 lbs stock motor.

The gears are weaker, and with the right stall you will never need them. Gearing a car makes up for a lack of power. Most people gear cars more when the cams dont make good torque. IE, TREX Cammed cars.

Nope. A converter company can use those gears and make a converter that rips with those gears. I know of a car now that has 2.73's that runs HARD NA and its using a hard hitting 3800 stall.

You will always accelerate faster with lower gears provided: A) You can get traction and B) you will not "run out of gear" at the end of the quarter mile. Simple physics here, lower gear = more applied force to the tire which = faster acceleration.
3.73 is a great gear if you do alot of street driving and is a nice compromise between streetability and great track times. Just my opinion..
