Just curious: what don't you like about the 3.73s?
In my experience they suit the SR quite well, but I've also got a 4+3. With an auto, I guess the 3.06 1st gear combined with some converter slip would seem to be pretty short, but I think 3rd and od would make nice cruising and top speed gears.
Have your speedo, shift points and torque converter lock up speeds been adjusted for the new gears. What about chip tuning? I think you need more enrichment with gears since you're now reving quicker, at least I did based on narrow band O2 data.
