In theory the 3.73 will give you better acceleration, but if you do not have traction, this is just going to blow the tires off more so then they already do.. I am running lower control arms and drag radials.

You have stock 3.31 gears unless yours is a KR (3.73's) . I have heard 90% of positive feedback for people running 3.73's. 3.73's come on the '11/'12 GT500's with the SVTPP if I remember correctly. Most people state that going to 3.73's was the best mod they ever did. The 3.31's kind of fall on their face from a stop and also reverse is a bit of a pain. With 3.73's it is much more fluid from a stop and better street drivability. Many people say that 3.73's are what they should have came with and they are the best for street driveabilty. If you get serious about going to the track 4.10's. This is a popular topic that is talked about on the other forums. Get some drag radials and don't fear the gear!
