You should have fun with that. I have the stock rear axle, what specific performance gains does the 3.73 bring? Faster acceleration?

damn im jealous. ya i have aftermarket 3.55's on my car and I thought those gears were a difference...tho the new 5.0's have 100hp on my car. I cant even imagine what 3.73's would feel like. yummy. have fun with it and please dont wreck it lol

oh and to answer you q mdskala, in short.....top speed cut down but higher acceleration. Good for launches, low end power etc.....

Thanks, that's what I was guessing. If I switch it, do other upgrades need to be done to support the new gearing?
