Any regrets on changing differential gears?

Didn't want to copy you too much there, Ervin. But, Just had a question. I'm changing out my gears this coming weekend to some 3.73's. Does anyone regret changing their gears? :confused:

What gears are you going from? I went from 2.73's to 3.73's, picked up a full second in the 1/4.

I went from 3:08 to 4:11...only had one regret...my new highway RPM's. That is fixed now, I replaced the th350 with a 700r4. Better highway RPM and better take off from a stop (due to the 700's lower first gear ratio)

3.73s and no overdrive get old if you drive on the highway very much.
