Just a regular driver, not really into street racing much, not into drag-racing, or offroad racing, just enjoy the pleasure of a powerful car, and a big fan of V8's

Got straight pipes and xpipe for that sweet sound. Always been a fan of straight pipes. Ordered a K&N cold air intake today, everything else is stock, and already looking beyond for the next upgrade.

I searched the forums for info on gears on rec from another poster, from what i can tell 3:73 gears would be a good upgrade next. Couple hundo for the gears and a couple hundo for the install.

Does anybody have any links for dyno charts with the effects of going from stock gears of 3:27 (i think) to 3:73? how much HP/Torque increase should i expect? what will this do for the gas mileage? 0-60 time?

has anyone else done this upgrade on a similar model that wasnt already massivly overhauled?
Thanks in advance!
