ok well i have the stock crappy 2.73 gears yes 2.73 gears, and i am wanting to upgrade to 3.73s and a 3500 stall. my question is for all those who have done a gear change and a stall, how much difference did u notice with pick up and power?? was it like night and day or just a slight difference?? i heard a stall really wakes up the A4s and want to know everyone elses opinion on this.

The stall made a huge difference in my camaro.
Different gears were a good mod but didn’t make near the difference the stall did.
They are both good mods.

well im going gears then stall since the stall will be made specifically for my car only. and is a 3500 stall a good daily driver stall or is that to big?? should i go with a 3000 stall??

2MuchRiceMakesMeSick

I got a 3600 and it was too small (even for a daily driver)
The size of the stall really depends on how the car is setup.
What plans do you have for it?

3500+ stall will be felt and make a difference big time.

my plans is to get all new ARP rod bolts so i can get a cam and then possibly heads someday, i just installed headers, offroad Y, and got a tune along with a LS6 oil pump installed. oh and i also want a LS6 intake manifold.

You could see as much as a full second with a GOOD stall, the 3.73 gears, and DR's.

yeah the guy who tuned my car said the motor is really wanting to go but the gears are holding me back, i can feel it to the whole car picks up just the gears dont pick up fast enough to go like i want it to, and the stall will definantly help. the stall will be custom made to my car and whatever the guy says i will go with, how high of a stall is to high for a daily driver?? if a 3500 is to small what would be perfect for a DD??

with a daily driver id stick with the 3500, should be fine.

how much should the average gears install cost, that is counting gears, pinion, and install with fluids and labor. a good shop quoted me 800 which from all the threads i have read is a good price. i will need a TA cover but thats pretty cheap, how much have you guys got your gears installed for??? and also what kind of gears are you running, brand and size.

or should i go all out and get some 4.10s , i want my car to pick up really good and from what i hear 4.10s are good gears and can be used in daily drivers without losing much gasmileage all the while gaining a **** load of bottom end torque and pickup. plus i will be goin from the 2.73s so i think i would be a very happy camper lol. what do you all think??

BRIAN98Z28

800 bux for a gear install???? that is RAPE my friend....you shouldnt pay ANY more than around 250 bux, my guy does it for 175.

well on thunderracings site they have the strange gears in a package deal all for around 450 bucks for everything, gears, stud kit, TA girdle cover, fluids and install kit. would i be happy with 3.73s or should i go all out and get the 4.10s and be really happy or will it just be a pain for a daily driver with 4.10s in it??? who here has 4.10s in there daily driver and drive on the highway? and whats your top speed with those gears?
