What size/style rims are you putting them on?
The additional 2" will K I L L your final rear ratio
You will notice it ... big time :Word:
Most likely put you down to around 3.60 give or take a few
The used to have those ratio things done up in tire diameter but I don't
know if you can find kind of info that these days

I've always heard that roughly every 1" in tire height difference is equal to ~.12pt of a gear ratio, so your 3.73's would be closer to a 3.49:1 assuming going from a 26" tall tire to a 28" and not factor in tire growth. 28" is better if you gear it accordingly as they normally hook better, but without the gear they will slow you down. My dad swithced from a 26" to a 27" tire and the car LOVED it, but he runs 4.30 gears. The car went from a 11.8 to an 11.6 with no other changes, his 60' dropped conciderably with the taller tire.
If you want a serious stick car, a 28" tall tire and proper gearing is where its at IMO.
You would need some 4.30s at least for those 28" tires, get the 26s. I run 4.56 gears with my 28s.
