your gear set-up really depends on your tire size, transmission type...c4, aod, or manual, and what you are hopeing to accomplish. and if you are running an automatic trans, are you running a converter? decide what you want the car to do, and how you want to drive the car befor you decide to change the gears. But over all a 3:73 is a good street gear. The jump from a 2;73 to a 3;73 is quite noticeable in a c4 or a manual trans, however my experiance with an aod and a 3;73 was not really abunch, unless already in the power band...also, you really need to know what camshaft your car is running to determine the power band characteristics, and match the gear to it as well...its kinda like science, but when you find the right combinbation for your car and what you want to do with it...look out.
