Default Ordering a strange 12 bolt what gears for my combo?

What gears would be best for my combo 3.42 or 3.73? And what channel abs do I have 3 or 4? What all options should I get in the 12 bolt? mods in the sig. May go cam and nitrous soon.

Should be a 4 channel with the 3.23 gears, my 00' is anyway. I would do 3.73 gears with your mods, should tighten up the stall a tad to.

That's real good HP for your mod's on an A4. It's odd that your TQ is so high though, did you dyno locked or unlocked and was that a spike?

If you have tcs than you 4 channel .There will be a wheel speed senser on each side.Go with 373's if you are going to spray.I went with 4.11 on my 12 bolt.If you get the strange your car will be down about 4 weeks.

TCS wasn't offered on '98s. You have a 3 channel rear.

I don't have TCS...so I guess it is a 3 channel. What kinda rpms do you guys with 3.73's run at 65mph? Yes that is with a locked TC on the dyno...no spike...unlocked it put down 323/364 untuned.

according to the info on http://www.f-body.org/gears/ at 65mph you should be turning just a hair over 2200 rpm. That's with 275/40/17 tires.
