Sounds like a nice setup to me. As for the gears i am not sure i have been told the stock gears are fine. Do you have 3.23s or 2.73s? I keep going back and forth about getting some 3.73s, but i started a thread awhile back about that and the majority said to stay with the 3.23s. You will love the TCI3500....I DO.

go ahead and get the 3.73's it makes the car that much more fun and it makes the stall a little bit tighter......stall is real loose with 2.73's (gears A4 camaros come with) be prepared to practice launching ALOT and get some suspension work done, nitto's alone wont be enough. when i had SSF3500, shift kit, cooler, intake, exhaust, and 4.10's the car was almost impossible to get traction thru 1st. put it this way, WOT from a stand still and the car will blow the tires off all the way thru 1st and 2nd and part of the way through 3rd with no kind of powerbrake at all

I do have at this time the 2.73's, I was thinking of 3.42's for a while , but I keep hearing the 3.73's will help out with the looseness. I want the car to be more fun to drive not undriveable, is it only that bad on traction when you floor it or is not that bad in daily driving situations.
