0-60 gear swap calculator??
I am thinking of swaping the rear end from my stock 2.72 (or whatever stock is) for 3.73 gears. I'm curious if there is a way to figure out how much extra acceleration I would gain. Not sure if this is possible at all or not... Anyone know? I know... I'm a noob

I assume it depends on power band, tires to handel the power, etc. didn't know if there was a way to just get a rough guess.

It will be kinda fast for a 305. You will notice a seat of the pants difference but its not gonna take a second of a 1/4 mile time.

Never seen a equation for 0-60 time with just the gear ratio.
