Depends on what tires, how hard you launch, posi or not, but I like the 3:23 gears, I pull around 320-330 hp at the crank and I can roast my meats like I was on ice. And thats with an AUTO!

most cars can't hook 100% on street tires, but there are suspension mods you can do in addition to quality tires which will help but not eliminate tire spin.

3.73s may be a bit excessive for your setup, but it wont affect a huge amount from the 3.27's. Better tires, boxed control arms and panhard rod will help traction out.

To 89Irocz350TPI,

I have a hypertech thermorunner chip, hooker headers, dynomax exhaust, SLP intake, throttle body spacer, LT1 injectors, and MAC pulleys. Performance wise, thats about it for now. ( have a 150 shot in the trunk, not hooked up yet.)
