just like the title says, i have 373's in the car now what would my gearing be like? will i notice a difference in being geared higher? will my car be a pig with them on? will that do to my 1/4 times? how should these hook on the street? compared to the 8.5's thanks.

It will all depend on many things. You'll notice a difference in the gearing. As for what it will do to your times, it will depend on your setup and how it runs now. For a N/A car with 3.73's, it will probably slow you down.

I have no way of knowing how much -- but I would think with a setup like you list there you would want MORE gear if anything.

i also couldnt list all my mods i also run a nx 150 shot and i made 413 rwhp and 546.6 rwtq if that helps any? if i use 410 and use a 26 in ill be out of gear possibly i shift at 6100. i have not ran it with the nitrous on a track yet but on the street all the 26x8.5's do is spin from a 3000 launch. what do u think, i motor i know it will slow me down.

Well, with that additional info -- maybe it will be good for you. It certainly shouldn't hurt if you're having traction problems now...

The taller tire will work good with the nitrous. The 28*10.50 will make you hook alot harder too. If you're not scared, launch that baby on the limiter. I think you will see better ET's and a lot more MPH.
