3.73 or 4.10 current setup I know this question has been asked alot, but I've only come across biased opinions 
when doing my research.
My current setup is 228/232 comp cam, stock heads, 3000 yank stall, 2.73 gears
I know going from 2.73 to 3.73 will make a HUGE difference, but what about 4.10's?? The difference in rpm range is about 250...
I've read different threads on here, and some say (3.73's best of both worlds, while others say 4.10's aren't any different)
Its like going from 3.42 to 3.73, since I have 2.73's why not go all the way to 4.10's instead of 3.73's??
Also, I am factoring in MPG's city/highway, hooking the tires, breaking the rear end, etc....
Any positive, and constructive input would really help

From what I have read and seen, I would go with the 3.73's in an A4.
From 2.73 to 3.73 will be a big jump, much more than from a 3.42 to a 3.73, and I am assuming this is your DD and not just a track car, so I would vote the 3.73's. Much more realiable, more contact teeth/area.
I just went to 4.10's with my M6. My bud has 3.73's in his M6, couldn't feel much of a diffrence over the 3.42's, but I think the 4.10's might be too much for your application. Just my opinion, good luck with your choice.

i have 411's in an a4 and im trading down to 373's for two reasons a. gas milage with out a stall or a cam is 200 per tank or about 15mpg and b. from dead stop i just spin and spin til i get traction at like 55 and thats on michelin ps2's with 80% tread so unless your just roll racing or have some sticky slicks i would go 373 but thats just my .02
3.73
