Sounds more like stock 3.27s to me.

If you're close to 2100 rpms u are still on stock gears. With 3.73s at 70 mph you should be close to 2300rpms.

Best way to know for sure is... Jack up car, spin tire 1 revolution, count how many times the drive shaft turns. If you have 3.73`s it will turn 3 3/4 turns.

i'm just at 2000RPM with 3.73s in my 04GT. so i'd say that's about right.
