tou will notice a huge diff, but be carefull with the gears if your goiung to put them in your stock rear end. get a rear end girdle kit from thunderracing, and try not to romp on it all the time as the stock rear can and will break.

Since you said your stock gears are 3.23 I assume you have an auto. The 3.73 gears are very nice for autos. You will be very happy with them.

Youll be happy with the performance gains. It will feel like a whole new car across the borad. It changesd the gearing for every gear not just the 1st gear.

U will love them. I made the same change and dont regret it. Ur rear can take 3.73's. I give mine hell quite a bit and its runnin just fine. Ur only problem will be with traction. I can't launch worth a crap.
