no i would stay 3.73, if you had a 9inch you could go 3.89, but i like the 3.73 its a good all around gear.

DUDE! What are you talking about HE HAS A 28" TIRE, if he put a 3.73 with a 28" it would be like a 3.23 with a 26". Think about thie big picture here.

im thinkin about it but dose he run the car with them all the time? or just at the track? thats the big picture. he may put the stockers back on when he goes places, he did not tell us what all he is working with, and what he is using them for. and with a 3.73 and a 28inch tire he will be more like a 3.46, so if he ran 4.10's he would be about a 3.80, with 4.30's he will be about a 4.00. but like i said does he run the 28's all the time? now if he is running thoes tires all the time i would say yeah run a 4.30, but if not no dont.
