I really don't think going from 3.27s to 3.73s will feel much different, you would probably regret it and want at least 4.10s. Why not 3.92s?

What's your goal with the car?

Are you going to be supercharging & working with the suspension to run the quickest possible times at the track? If you are, it makes no sense to leave the extra gear on the table, go with 4.10's or 4.30's. If you 'run out' of gear, compensate with a taller rear tire and you'll be making full use of the gear and running quicker than you could with 3.73's.

If you are staying N/A for a long time, go with atleast 4.10's. I swapped my 4.10's out for some 4.30's...

To be quite honest i didnt know there was that many "in between" gears. All i hear is 3:73 or 4:10 in a DD street car. I eventually will be supercharging my car, hopefully within the next year. I will take it to the track every once and a while.
