Should I put in 3.73's?

Hey dudes, i got some extra cash and was wondering if i should swap in some 3.73s in place of my 2.73's



I hear the 3.73s have badass lowend pull but i don't want to lose my highway accel.. (i do alot of highway racing, don't flame me)

I love being able to switch to second gear at 70 on the highway and pull real hard.


So question is, should i switch to 3.73's ?

I made that exact switch and love 'em. It will pull better at any speed but won't have as high a max speed. It will affect gas mileage (not toooooo bad) and bump up 70mph rpms by 800.

you wont get that badass pull on the highway anymore at higher speeds. I seem to get stuck in the wrong gear more on the top end with my 3.73's. Lower end is simply badass though.
