?4.10 or 3.73? in an a4 bout to get a 9' and was wondering which gear would help me the most. right now i have stock internals but plan on getting heads and cam(not planning on NOS). which would help me the most as far as 1/4 mile performance goes?
Any input would be appreciated,
(th car is an A4)

With heads and a high performance cam, you want 4.10s for best 1/4 mile performance. If it turns out to be too much gear, you can go with slightly bigger tires.
As PSJ noted, highway rpms will be high; figure 3000 rpm at 80 mph.

Re: ?4.10 or 3.73? in an a4 Thanks guys, the highway RPM really does not matter cause i have a daily driver. I do street race much more than I do at the track, will I be able to hook 4.10's on say a 28x11.5x15 MT ET Street? Don't really want to run ET drags on the street, I have a few friends that do but I would rather not.
Thanks,
Marty

I currently have a pi3200, good point though.
