How much will 3.73's help me in the 1/8th mile?

The closest track to me is an 1/8 mile track, so I'd like to set it up for maximum performance on that track. Would upgrading to 3.73s be worth it? or should i save my money for headers? How much time would you expect me to gain with gears

When I put the 3.73 in the 94Z I was stock and I only picked up maybe a tenth in the 1/8 because I was going into third right before the end of the track. The only reason I got that is because I lowered my 60 ft time.
