what is the usual gain at the track after installing 373 gears?
Subject says it all, just curious as to what I should expect from the gear upgrade. The car is a 00 gt 5 speed with nitto 555r's. Thanks everyone.

I stated the important things that will have any effect on the time (nittos and the fact that its a stick) My old best time on the nittos with it sniper tuned (very mildly), short shifter, frpp c-springs, RAI, with stock gears (327) was a 9.11 in the 1/8th at 76 mph.

Meh, there really arent any variables to that question. The only variable is if he has drag radials, and he said he does. Unlike engine and suspension mods, modifications to one part, won't effect the gears function.

to be honest with you, I ran ****tier with dr's than with street tires with my 3.73's because the prep on the track was crap as well as it was cold out and no sun. below is my "table"
98 gt auto vert
stock gear:
street tires 14.4
dr's 14.3
3.73
Street tires 13.9
dr's 14.1 (crap track)
You'll see more out of the gear if you have the right combo (dr's, manual for a good launch, and a good track (prepped and weather wise))
