2.73's

anyone have 2.73's and is happy with them? I thought about switching to a 3.23 or higher, but I already have some traction problems and I don't want to make it worse.

I love my 2.73's. I actually want to go to a taller gear. 30mpg highway and enuf torque out of a tired L03 that theres no bogging.

2.73 are great if you are after gas milage they just dog a little on acceleration.

That's what a transmission's for.

When you refer to traction, are you saying on the track or street?
