Auto and 3.23 rear to T-5... 3.73's???

Hi guys!

Well, as stated, I went from an auto to a T-5 and my current rear is a posi 3.23. What are some differences I would see if I went to a 3.73 with the T-5 and would you recommend it? I know nothing about gears so any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Oh, and I have a 350 TPI in case that matters.

I would stay with your 3.23's or go with some 3.42's. 3.73's will put your TPI out of its poower band too fast.

I agree... 3.73 isn't enough gear.

A 3.23 or 3.42 would be much better.
