My 3.27 gear is not too bad at the track! 1.394 60', 10.324 et...

Really it depends on what you want to do and how you are set up. For your particular application I would stay with the 2.73. If you are not going race anybody from zero why change gears? From a roll the 2.73 will be just as good as a 3.73, maybe better depending on speed.

One concern is your clutch. It will last longer with a lower gear. Takes less slippage to get you moving the lower the gear. A 3.55 or even 3.73 would be a good street/track compromise if you planned to race at the track.
