Actually, that's one of the best near stock times I've seen on the pre-99 modular... and if you're running standard street tires, that 60 ft time isn't too bad either.
(Was that a track time or G-Tech?)

I got a good boost in track performance from the 3.73s and pulleys, although I'm still trying to get a good launch down with the newer gears.... The gatorback goodyears have a hard time putting that torque to the ground at the track.
The street is a different story.
(I bet I'm .3-.4 sec faster on the street due to the better launches I get from the 3.73s on the street)
I'm seriously looking at a set of BFG g-Force T/A KDs when my gatorbacks go south, to get some bite back into my track launches.

As far as RPMs, I really can't think of what they might be right now, but I still have plenty of gear left at fast highway speeds.

I consider 3.73s a must have for modular owners... 3.73's love the power band of the modular motor and the fun of driving is greatly increased.

I have noticed just a bit more fuel consumption since the change, with the greatest difference in stop and go traffic.
Highway fuel usage is hardly affected.
Hope this helps...
