C5 Corvette with 4spd Auto: Best Performance Mod - 3.42 GEAR SWAP!

What is the very best C5 Corvette performance mod? If you have a C5 Corvette with an automatic transmission then you know it is somewhat slow. That's a shame because the C5 is light and has the powerful LS1 engine, but GM left one ingredient out. The 2.73 rear differential gears that came with most C5 Automatic Corvettes are horrible for performance use. What is really needed is a gear swap to 3.42 gears!
