Gains from 2.73s to 3.73s
Just curious on what my gains should be. My best run with kn cold air, z06 maf and SLP loudmouth on my factory 2.73s was a 13.71 @ 101.15 with a 2.103 60ft. Since then Ive added 3.73s with LT4 KM and pcmforless programming. What should I expect with the same weather conditions?

With my 60' time within .03, I gained .47 in the 1/4. And I had traction with the 2.73's, had to feather it off the line with the 3.73's.
My dad used to say that for ever 2 tenths you changed in the gear, you would get one tenth on the track. Just an approximation as tracks, cars, and drivers vary.

I gained about a 1/2 of a 1/10...not very much of a gain, certainly not worth the time I spent installing them and the money I spent buying the parts.
What most people forget to mention is what was the weather like with the old gears and the new gears? Track prep? Full tank, half tank?

Remember I am expecting some gains from the LT4 km and PCMforless programming besided just the 3.73s. I was sayin if everything was the same ( track prep, gas,weather, ) Im sure its not going to be the exact same as it was when I hit my 13.7. I will be happy with a 3-4 tenth gain
2 tenths ahhhhh
but not even a tenth or just that
Im sure it has a gain. Im also going to be running either BFGs or ET streets.

well, after hearing all this bad feedback you probably arent wanting to do it........BUT on with some good news. I gained almost a full second with gears and a stall despite the fact that my 60' went out the window also....... maybe this will help
