so tome yes it looks like with 550 hp it would be better to have 3.27's that 3.73's

Ya, really keep what you have. No need to change too the 3.55's there're so close! It's not highway racing it light to light racing or so............. Good Luck!!

I'd much rather be able to do better from a roll then stopped at a light

and still never got an answer to this ::::::: Also... If i kept the 3:73's in and got heads and a supercharger and i'd get like 80 hp from that.. Would i get longer gears or more of a top end?

yes you would get SOME top end back, but not much. no dont go back to 3.08's. if you got heads and a supercharger yo u would get alot more than 80hp, and your gears will be shorter but youll be able to get more speed out of each gear(except 1+2cause youll just spin your tires)
