Default 2.73 to 3.73 gains in corvette

Did a search and alot came up for f-bodys, but my friend is swapping his 2.73's for a set of 3.73's in a corvette and would like to know what kind of gain to expect. This is an 2001 coupe with an auto.

The reason I'm asking is he thinks that he's going to gain .5 in the 1/4 by changing the gear. When I switched from a 2.73 to a 3.42, I only gained .05 - .1 in the 1/4, but I do have a big stall and exhaust where as his is stock.

Any help would be great.
