5spdGT will I notice a difference with the 3.73's compared to the stock 2.73's ?
The car is quick but, a turd off the line.

You'll feel the difference
Keep in mind guys...stock heads, stock intake, stock cams - do you think 4.10:1 are optimum and the best all around gear?
i wouldn't say "best all around gear" by any means, but, ESPECIALLY since he has a stock motor, not to mention aod, i say 4.10's. but like i said, both 3.73's and 4.10's are great, it just depends on the application, imo. i have 4.10's with a 5 speed which sucks on the highway, but i don't do much highway driving. 3.73's are great all around gears for a 5 speed car, imo, my friend has them in his coupe and it pulls hard and doesn't spin too high of rpm's on the highway. but that's in a 5 speed car as well. he had the gears in his car before he converted it to a 5 speed, and i agree with 85_ss_302_coupe, it pulled pretty well but still felt like there could be more there.
Well I think you misunderstood my point...the stock engine can not breathe very well in the upper rpms, why stick a gear in that loves it
4.10's wouldn't allow my transmission to shift into 4th under WOT. It also shifted too fast from 2nd to 3rd gear. The car was a raped ape though when I did the old "AOD Shuffle"!!!
Will larger gears put more strain on the AOD trans ? I imagine the trans will shift more often .
