what gear to get
i belive {according to the tach article on my yr car} that i have a 3.23 gear ratio in my rear end what would the next step up for more acceleration in each gear be?

DO NOT get 3:73s if you're running the stock cam. You'll be way out of your power band. That's what happened to me, I didn't gain anything in the 1/4 going from 2:73s to 3:73s, cause the gears keep me out of my power band. 3:42s would work nice, but you already have 3:23s. I don't see it helping that much. I would say do a cam swap and then you can think about 3:73s.
