For stop light racing, the 3600 and 2.73s are surprisingly good on the street, especially if you run street tires. You can roll easily into the throttle and get a solid launch. If you do rolling punches to say 110 - 120 mph, 3.73s are a blast. 3.73s will go up in smoke if you don't watch your launch. If you want off the line performance with 3.73 + a stall, you really want to keep sticky tires on the back.
Do the stall and keep the gears for now. Drive it for 3 - 6 months and then reevaluate the need for gears.
