I had 3.73s and was running out of gear at around 120mph. (bolt-ons and 100 shot)
When I installed a Moser 9", I changed to 3.50 gears.
Using a 26" tall tire...
So, my suggestion is 3.42s in a 10 bolt, or 3.50/.55s if you got an aftermarket rearend.
Or get bigger tires.
But on a 125 shot and 3.50 gears, it still gets out of the hole quick enough...mid 1.4 60fts.

i use to be a M6 but i ran 4.10 in my moser 9" with 27" tires and hit the 1/4 at 132 mph at 6400 in 4th gear. remember 4th gear in M6 or A4 is still 1 to 1. what size tire are you running, it makes a big difference. I use to run 4.56 gears on 27" tires all motor and ran out at 117 mph in 4th.

3rd gear is 1:1 in autos.
That's why we don't shift into overdrive when racing (unless the trans is built for that, maybe?)
