I'm getting new wheels and tires pretty soon, but my next mod after that will likely be either a stall or gears. I have 2.73s right now and would step up to 3.42s. But I'd like to do either that or get a 3200 stall.

I know with the stall I'll need some decent tires to hook up with, that's why I'm asking now before I buy tires. I don't want to have to buy Nittos and only get 15k miles out of them though because this is my daily driver.

I know a stall will likely net me better gains at the track, but I haven't even been to the track yet with my car in the year and a half I've had it. I just really want to be quicker on the streets with daily drivability. With a stall, wouldn't I really only feel it when I hammered it? Whereas with gears any little acceleration would feel quicker?

Any advice would be helpful, thanks guys.

I would go with gears first since you dont race too much. But youll definitely want a stall when you have a descent tire.

3.42 gears are nice on an A4. very nice gears for the street. a stall is more for the track, plus you will need a sticky tire to catch traction. get the gears, you will notice a difference.

Cool, that's what I was thinking.

I mean I still want to pick up some nice gains and I know that a stall would definitely give me that, but I'm just more looking for the seat of the pants feel because the 2.73s leave so much to be desired. I think 3.42s would be a nice blend of performance and still have daily drivability.

I'd personally go stall.

I have gears and a stall and the stall was def a better mod than the gears.

WHat gear was stock with your WS6? Theres a big difference between 2.73 and 3.23

WS6 = 3.23

Get the stall. I have upgraded both my gears and my stall. Gears will not come anywhere close to what a stall does. If it was me, I would save my money and upgrade the gears when I get the new rear.

Well I really don't want to have to get a new rear.....

Get a stall - one of the best mods I've ever done. Changes the way the car drives - makes it a lot better.

What I am saying is when you buy your rear end you get to choose what gears you want. I would get a stall and then choose the gears once you had to get a new rear. It will save you from having to buy gears twice. I hate to tell you but, more then likely that day will come. It does for everybody I have seen.

Scotty.
I too started out with 273's on my 2000 A4.
After many a search i found that "for me" the Yank SY3500 & some 323's were a perfect combo for my daily driver. Which BTW currently has 170K on the clock with 20K of that on this converter!
Yeah!!! I STILL have the the factory 4L60E. The SY series has a low STR of 1.7 BUT,,, this combo KILLS!!!!
Coupled with my mild cam, Drag Radials my car will stomp "most" M6's / Z06's from light to light!
You simply cannot beat it for what it is!

good luck!
