Default 3.73s to 3.27s??

I have 3.73s in my mildly built fox. Its gonna be my daily driver. I've heard that 3.27s have there benefits but I don't wanna loose the whole fun factor (put ya back in the seat) if I make the swap. Should I do it?

No way I would ever switch from 3.73 to 3.27 gears.
I have 3.55 right now and still get 24mpg if I stay out of the throttle.

If you have an OD trans there absolutely no reason to stray from 3.73's

I'm swapping from a 3.73 to 3.27 but only because I have an OBCENE amount of power and only a 3speed trans, so for me it's a compromise. For someone with OD there is no reason to compromise.

I went from 373 to 331 but it was to help with turbo spool and I also only run a 3 speed trans. Like said stay with the 373
