Gas mileage with 373 gears with 6 speed trans

[importssuck]

With the stock engine and minor bolt ons like exhaust and headers. What mpg do you guys get with 373 gears with the 6 speed manual trans? Was there a big loss from 342 to 373?

in 6th at 70mph its only 100 rpms more with the 373s

i would imagine this wouild only affect your milage by 1 or 2 mpg highway .....so 26/27 vs 28
