I went from 3.42's down to 3.23's and am much happier with its drivability and pull in 2nd & 3rd- they have a much better power range. Also alot quieter ride in OD when at cruising speed. My personal opinion is to stay away from 3.73's unless you do all surface street driving and drag racing. (drag racing a 60*V6?- but thats just my opinion )

I kinda like the 3.42's that I have. Why do you want to go to a higher ratio, are you looking for gas milage??? In my opinion, go with 3.42's, they're the best of both worlds.
