Default ?? 4.33's ??

My buddy has some 4.33's, i can get them super cheap and was wondering if thats to short of a gear. What are some of the things i should consider. I already have 3.73's and im just wondering if it'll be worth doing.....basically looking for every edge i guess, i'll be doing the work myself. The car hardly see's the highway and hardly gets driven, other than driving to the track. And i'm currently running a 275/50-15 MT dragradial

with the tire you are using 4.33 may be a tad much if it's a 3.35 t-5 tranny you have, you'll be banging gears quick
