3.23 gears with boost?
OK truck is getting close to being finished ended up getting me a new 14 bolt rear, truth be told this truck will never see the track only rolls 
but thinking of ditching the 3.42s for a set of 3.23s what do you guys think? Do it or nay? setup again is a T76mm running a 3,000 precision industries converter so keep the 3.42s or do 3.23s? thanks; Cubic inches still unknown

If you have the power for it (and I meant north of 600 rwhp), do the 3.23's for sure! I just swapped to 3.42's from 3.73's and am still on the fence about whether or not I should of done the 3.23's as I really wanted to do.
I had 3.23's with an older STS set-up when I was making 400 rwhp and loved it. I was having some big problems on the low end with that set-up and swapped from 3.23's to 4.10's and it was a dumb decision. There were better ways to go about fixing my old set-up than swapping gears and I ended up regretting it.
On a whole I would have to disagree with that statement. Not all boost is created equal and even then I'd have to say the opposite is true of what your suggesting. High gears (numberically) and big converters are a must for N/A set-ups but not so on boosted applications.
