You don't really lose anything on the top end as far as top speed goes with the 3.73.
The problem you encounter with the Mustang is traction. In theory the 3.73 will be the quickest but it's not always the case in practice. It's VERY hard to get this car to hook up on a street tire, so sometimes a 3.55 or even 3.31 might run quicker than a 3.31 car on a street radial. But with slicks or drag radials the 3.73 should really shine. Especially if you run a tune that bumps the limiter from 7,000 to 7,600 RPM... the thing will really scream. So far I'm at 12.87 @ 110 on a 2.01 60'. I've put together some other runs with sub 2.0s 60's so I'm certain I could run 12.70s or better on a "perfect" run, but I'm going to pick up some drag radials here shortly. Throw in a CAI, tune, and X-pipe and I should be in the 11s.
