Need Advice? Im thinking of changing my 2.73 gears, in my A4 vette, for 3.42's or 3.73's? I don't know for which to go with. My car will be daily driven. I would also like know what would my quarter mile gains be?

Do you still have a stock 10 bolt? If so I would just wait untill you upgrade to the 9" 12 bolt because you will have to get gears then. Your gains wont be worth the risk as 10 bolts are already weak.

Yeah i still have the stock 10 bolt, im hoping that new gears would get me in the 12's b/c my best run at the track was a 13.1x in the quarter mile.

Do you max out all your gears now?
You can calculate the differences here
