I did the 3:73s in my 94Z and it was the best modification I had done.

everytime i go on LS1tech.com it seems like there are 100 ORY w. Cutouts for sale, i think everyone gets sick of them after only a few weeks/months. It aint gonna make your car any faster, 373's or 3.90's will. Send your PCM out for a spedo recaibration and get a tune with it, (160 stat) your talkin maybe a full second at the track depending on your current gears

gears are the best bang for the buck, 4.10's would be optimal and despite popular myth there is not much of an effect on gas mileage. well, there is around town cause it is hard to keep your foot out of it when the car gets off the line so much better. lol highway mileage will stay about the same, a few people have even picked up slightly after gear swaps.

id suggest gears too, since your auto, 3.73 should be fine.

58mm would require porting the intake i believe


btw i edited this post a lot, lol. i at first thought you had an LS1 car...then i actually looked at your avatar....

if you go with higher ratio roller rockers you wil see a reasonable gain, especially with tuning. itis sort of a band aid method for notinstalling a larger cam, but the $$$ per HP is very much in favor of the rockers unless you have other engine work planned in the near future.

good luck with it
