Default Goin from 3.23s to 3.90s. is it worth 1-2 tenths?

Right now the car is getting a 1.63 60'. Looking for a 1.53. Will I get it?
2001 formula, A4, Vig. 3600, all bolt-ons (no headers), all traction stuff and M/T tires. Car runs 12.20 @ 110 at sea level.

i went from 3.23's in a 10 bolt to 3.90's in a 9" and didnt gain a thing. Obviously it takes a little more power to turn the 9" so i may of lost some there. Switching gears may help your 60 some but a tenth in the 60ft might be pushing it. Thats just my personal experience.
