A4 Gear choice please help
Well i did some searching and also read up some info on gear swapping. According to the speed ratio chart my 2 best bets formy a4 will be either a 3.42 or 3.73 gear set from strange. Im trying to decide which one will give me the performance im looking for but also not hurt my highway mpg that much. Im pretty set on the 3.42 gear set. It will be a huge jump from my 2.73 and will also go well with the fuddle 3200 im gonna be ordering nest week. Just wanted to get some opinions on whether or not i should just go 3.73 or stay 3.42. Will the difference be enough that i wish i would have done it later. Future mods look to be the converter, longtubes, and possible a 100 shot(but not for a long while on that one).

Also, with the upgrade to a lower gear set will i noitce more dead spots at higher rpms? Also will i have to do roll races in OD rather then D because i will be toping out D at around 115-120? Sorry about all the newb questions.
