In my opinion, I think they are fine for basic bolt-ons. But when more serious power is added later down the road most people end up ditching the 3.73's because they so easily overwhelm the tires and also it's close to banging out on the rev-limiter at the track just short of the traps.

I personally really like my 3.31's for a street car and my car will be boosted at some point.

I think the gears depend on what you are going to do with the car. My car is boosted with 3.73's. I was going to change them out til i took it out to the racetrack and realized they were near perfect for it. The info Steve gave you is more for drag strip use.
