Going from 3.23 to 3.73. Is it enough?
I'm going to be purchasing some 3.73's for my A4 within the next few days. For those of you who went from 3.23's to 3.73's: Did you feel as if it was good enough? I could search all day long and I can't find a clear explanation as to how dramatic the difference was from 3.23 to 3.73. I'm looking for someone to give me an idea, and was it enough? Do you wish you went higher?
**If you went from 2.73, 3.42, or have 3.73's in a 6 speed, please do not chime in on this.**

Hey whats up Eddie? It's hard for me to remember but I think the car felt a decent amount better. I did the cam right after so its all fuzzy when I try thinking about it. For your setup I think some 3.73's would be a real wise choice. Anything higher would be too much IMO. The 3.73's even push my limits on the highway, couldn't imagine what some 4.10's would be like.

I don't see why everyone is so against 4.10's in an auto. I have a an auto with 4.10's and man do I love it!!!! I daily drive it and couldn't be happier. Keeps me from flying to high one the freeway. Sure my rpm's are a little high but I stay mostly on the streets since I don't travel alot. I guess more people are worried about MPG's. If so I'd get a honda and get it done with. We have V8's for a reason, Or so I think it's the reason...POWER!!! I had a 67 Camaro SS with a small 327>12.1 compression 2 SPEED POWER GLIDE!!! AND 4.11'S!!!!! Never felt better!!!! But then again, to each their own.... I'll never go back to the 3.73's and 3.42's, i'm not into going 180mph on the freeway. Just my two cents. And I don't mean to trash anyone but just giving my opinion to the OP. Have a nice day guys.

typically i think you gain a couple tenths but mph stays the same.
Motive makes them. i saw them on the summit website when i bought my 3.73s. i almost nabbed em, i still woulda told everyone i had 3.73s though.
