Well as long as you keep the Mickeys on there it will make you faster. How much faster depends on how hard you can launch it. I mean if you brakes can hold the car to a 3000rpm launch you will fly out of the hole and that 3.73 will be a god send and may yeild you a .3sec improvement in ET. A lot of people hurt themsleves using this gear thinking it will make them faster and can hook with it.
Its all in coming out of the hole, then yes it will help motivate your car down the strip.
With your mods it looks like the 3.73 will be friendly to your power band and should really make the car happy. Espically with your high stall converter
