Default 3.31 vs 3.73---- mods

I bought a 2014 gt 5.0 with 3.31 . I did not know it had that I was wondering what the diff is between the 3.31 and the 3.73 is in a 1/4 ? Also what mods can i do without voiding my warranty?

I test drove a '13 GT with the 3.73 gears and thought they'd be great if I went to the track all the time but for everyday driving the 3.31s are safe. I couldn't believe how easy it was to break loose in second when trying to pass between 45-55 MPH...

The 5.0 is really impressive with 3.31's, 3.55's, or 3.73's. I have 3.73's and love the feel of how it pushes you back when you hammer on it. I test drove a couple of new '12's with 3.31's and was really impressed. It seemed to be really long legged & pulled great. I decided to go the used car route and it came with 3.73's.
