You will probably find 3.73s a bit steep for the 3.8 V6. Gas mileage will probably improve around town and clutch life should increase dramatically if you do much stop and go traffic jam driving. Think about 3.45s if you keep the stock rear or 3.55 if you upgrade to an 8.8. One point that most people don't consider when installing gears in V6s is that the stock rear is an open differential and you are going to have a traction problem with lower gears and an open diff.
