I have a a4 02camaro ss little comp cam full exhaust and tune in the process of looking into a stall . Also thinking about doing gears is it worth the hassel would I see improvement . Is 373 the gear to go ?

stall first,then maybe gears.

An auto, the first mod should be a stall IMO. A 4k stall if you plan to track the car, 3600 or so if mainly a street car I'd say - but depends on cam size.

I like gears, unlike most mods they give you more seat of the pants everywhere in the rpm band. The only downfall is a tad less top speed and a tad more rpm on the hwy, though the engine is working less. I say go for it.

^^^ I like gears too,maybe too much. 4.56s' for 4 years,blipping the throttle and the front end jumps. The SS3600/4.56s' was incredible,1st and 2nd were beasts,throttle response was incredible. Got the 3.23s' in it now,the rear being built is gonna get 4.10s'. 4.56s'/A4 was too steep for the 1/4. 3.73s' with a good stall seems to be the popular consensus.

I agree a stall should be the first mod to a auto and I do plan to stall it as well . Im saving up for the stall and the bigger cam I was thinking maybe thw tsp 228r cam. I could get gears right now if I wanted alot cheaper lol. I want it still to be streetable what do yall think of 373s or 410s

With the short tires we have, 3.73 is a great gear for an A4. Still very driveable on the freeway. You should have 3.23's now, so I'd do the converter first

Ive gotten pms about used stalls that are for sale idk if I should pull the trigger and buy one used or not the prices were more than half off Also a buddy just gave me a set of 410 gears that he never used on his SS on a a4 thats to much gear though isnt it?

Honestly I think 4.10's woud be more fun than the 3.73's, but there are drawbacks as well obviously

buddy35thle

Yea I know 410s have more draw backs but for free cant beat it lol well see I just might post them on the parts classifieds

Went with 3.73's first then converter second. Gears made a great improvement as a first upgrade. Combined with the converter these two items together gain excellent performance.

I agree and did 3.42s, 70mph is 2200rpms.

Used converters and gears are a real crapshoot.

buddy35thle

If I did buy one used I would definitely have it cut and cleaned idk bout spending close to a grand on a convertor

There are several vendors you can get a converter for less then half that. Yank PTC Circle D FTI all come to mind.
