Yes they are nice I love them it took me some time to get used to but now they are nice. I always thought that I would lose traction everytime I hit the gas but that's not the case. It's easy for me chirp second now have not got third working on it

Cool

I've been kickin' around the idea of 3.73's for some time now......only thing holding me back is that I don't want to run out of top end in the 1/4, or have the motor revving too high at highway speeds. I've got 3.55's and can lose traction in 1-2-3 and sometimes 4......I can't imagine it w/ 3.73's. Must be intense.

You won't notice the 3.73s as much if you already have 3.55s. Its not a big gearing jump, so don't be dissapointed if your don't see as much as someone jumping from 2.73s or 3.08s.

What do you cruise at with the 3.73s on the highway?
