Same here but switched mine a few months ago. Worth every penny.
I had 3.31's and hated them.
Now time to get rid of the POS base steering wheel and get a tune.

with you 3.31s on a warm day..from idle were you able to smoke the tires?
It's a 412 crank horsepower car. I'd be surprised if it couldn't. Very surprised.
I don't know; 3.73 is as low as I would go to be perfectly honest. With any sort of power adder I'd be heading back down the gears, probably to 3.31s.
Love my 3.73's!
Not off idle. It would chirp 3rd though.
If I launched at all yes.
Overall 3.31's were boring, sluggish and unsatisfying to me.
I could see 3.31's being cool if you had forced induction.
If staying stock or near stock and for daily driving fun this motor needs 3.73's or even 4.10's IMO.
I may change what I'm saying about gears after I get a tune but definitely no lower than 3.55's...

To those who have switched gears, what MPG change did you notice if any?
dang 3.31 are sounding good to me.. what did they top out in 4th?
I have not driven a 3.31 or 3.55 for comparison to my 3.73 from the factory. But my experience with the 3.73 is good. I've read that first gear is useless, but virtually all mt vehicles I've driven use 1st primarily for starting from a dead stop--with very little time in that gear. One thing I like about the 3.73 (also a downside as far as mpg, possibly), is that in 6th gear the car still pulls quite well without a downshift.
Another vote for the 3.73's. I believe that they are right on, i would even say a 3.90 would work well too.
Just got my 3.73s today and love them. The only thing i dont like is bouncing off red line.
I have 3.73s and wouldnt have it anyother way i work at a dealer ship and have driven every set up almost and 3.73 had me from the start so thats how i order mine
I'm also loving the 3.73's. They give the car that extra "pep". Since my car is just a DD top end isn't really that important to me. The 3.73's are great for light-to-light runs though. As far as gas mileage goes, I'm getting about 21-22 mpg. That's including at least a couple of 100 mph sprints on a tank.
Anyone who switched gears notice a significant MPG change?
anyone have 4.10's ????

Have had 3.73's for 5k miles and noticed and overall drop of 1mpg compared to the 3.31's:shrug:
Had 3.31's for 5k miles as well.

Not bad.
is the drop because of the gear or the smile on your face when you nail it ?
3.55's are supposed to be the best power adder gear. I will be going for N/A horsepower since I drive the car on road courses. Once I start getting up to 480+ wheel, I will probably drop down to 3.55's.
