Default Best gear choice???

The car is not a dailey driver and dont see the highway that much, but I do take it out about 4 times a week and to the track a lot. Its an A4 with 28" tires and will be spraying a 150-200 shot. Im pretty torn between 3:73's and 3:89's but just cant make up my mind. Any help is greatly appericiated!

Well I'm not too sure about auto. cars. But if you don't DD it, and are just going to the track, I'd go 3.89's.

With that tall of a tire I would say 3.89. I would look at estimated trap speed with the gear/tire combo and try to get just enough gear to get me through the trap at the top of third.

I love the 3600 stall and 389 gear combo. I use 3rd for 50 and under 50 and above I use 4th.
