Going from 4.3 to 3.73 your gears will be 15.5% longer, also the same amount of less torque multiplication from the gear. So whatever your currently topping a gear out at multiply by 1.155 and see what your new redline speed is per gear. You may find out you just made 5th too long /high of speed for your power and now it’s useless.

A 3.9-4.1 may be a better option for sub 350whp
thanks guys.. I think i'll just stick to my 4.3 then and save that cash for something else such as e85.
