Gearing questions for my combo

Hey.

I currently have 3.27 gears in my 9bolt.

The setup in my car is as follows;
357ci
Holley Stealth Ram intake
Edelbrock Performer RPM Heads
Comp XE 224/230
.513/.510 lift with Crane Gold 1.6rr's
Pro Yank 3400 stall

The Car most likely has peak HP at around 5800 rpm.

Would I see much of an improvment swaping out the 3.23 gears for some 3.70 gears? I know my car would be trapping a lot closer to the peak HP level so that should help and maybe gain some ET and MPH?

Traction shouldnt be much of a problem as I will be running MT ET Street radials.

thanks

Edit - Just noticed I accidently put this in the wrong forum and I can't delete it. Can somone move it? thanks.

You will probably shave some off your ET, but MPH will likely stay the same.
