Default 390 gear in A4

Wondering how this gear performs on the street. Car is not a DD and only sees a couple thousand miles a year, along with several trips to the track.

I've got 3.89's in my 9 inch. It is definitely fun on the street. My only complaint is that with 26 inch diameter rear tires 3rd tops out at about 120. I'll probably be looking to switch down to 3.50-ish for more top speed eventually.

Depends on power level, but 4.10's won't be the worse, but 3.73's are considered best all around. What stall do you have now??
