Re: 2.73 to 3.73 swap

This is probably the best tool going!!

Check it out yourself. With 3.42's, 160 will be at ~5000 RPM, and with 3.73's it will be at ~5500 RPM's .

I had 3.73's in my car last year, and they worked really well (except they whined bad ). But for fuel mileage, I didn't suffer that bad.....in fact, I got better city mileage, and only lost maybe ~30 - 40 miles to a tank on the highway. With the 4.10's now (which do 160 at 6000 RPM) I've lost nearly ~60 miles/tank on the highway, but they haul a$$ off the line (I've shaved .4 seconds off my 1/4 mile time, and picked up over 1 mph ).
