5.0HO, are you taking track conditions and weather into considerations? theres now way you can slow down when you swap from 2.73s to 3.73s unless the weather is about 50* hotter, its alot more humid, you have a full tank of gas, at a different altitude track, and you're towing a chevy pickup
i picked up a half second when i did the same gear swap, granted mine was as AOD at the time
about the topic at hand, i wouldnt be afraid of the 3.73's with the turbos because turbos need rpm's to build boost so the 3.73's will bring it up faster and shouldnt be as bad on traction as say a eaton style blower that builds boost in low rpm's
hope this is of some help
