Default 2.73 to 3.42 or 3.73 on TTIx c5

I am thinking about changing my stock 2.73 (auto) to either 3.42 or 3.73. I want to improve on my 1/4 mile time and thought it would be a good upgrade taht would help. Which one do you guys think I should go with and why. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on your power level. A 342 should be better long term. That's what I've run with my X kit for several years.

I've got 3.73 gears and boost hits q little later because the gear doesn't put a load on the engine it seems like ... But man with an m12 and 3.73 gears is sure is fun!

3.42 if I were you my gearing is a little much
