your speed times 3.73/2.73,
for example 60mph times 3.73 divided by 2.73.
just use a calculator.

or done the other way your speedo reading times 2.73/3.73 will give you your true speed.

well so far their great. However its been raining constantly since i got them installed so i have not yet been able to test them. ill tell ya one thing, i love the sound of my exhaust when crusing on the thruway at 75 with rpms at 2500. Nice powerful steady tone.

You have to let me know when it drys up if you notice a diff. I am stuck on either a 3.73 or 4.10s dont know which one I would want. Its just gonna be in town car so highway speeds isnt gonna bother me. Thanks.

If you have an M6 car dont even think about 3.73's in my opinion. I couldnt deside either but I am VERY glad I went with 4.11's, I would have been disappointed with 3.73's. 4.11's are not as bad as everyone makes them out to be. Your in 5th or 6th gear alot faster then before but until you hit about 70+ you dont even notice the RPM difference really. And it is a totally new car with 4.11's pulls hard from any gear at any RPM!! Notice I've said 4.11's and not 4.10's, do some searching about the differences, you'll want the 4.11's if you can find them!! Less teeth then the 4.10's and side by side looking at them the strengh is no compairison. Look at the picture section on the home page of "Grease"
