3.73's...
 
I'm in rebuilding stage of my 99' A4 SS and I'm goin with a 383 stroker with a3600 or 4000 stall. I already own a set of 3.73's for the car but I wondering if it will be worth it to swap from 3.23's to 3.73's?

I'd say that it will be, you'll get into the rpm range much sooner. Bob

Do you think I should keep the stall a 4k? I don't want to run out of gear...

What are you mainly using the car for? For mainly street use I would go with around a 3600 rpm stall. Too much stall and the slippage will make the car feel that it has no torque on the street. Bob

if you still have the stock 10 bolt ,upgrade to a 9" or 12 bolt.a 383 will brake the 10 bolt.

If you drag it, 4K. If not, 3600

Thanx for the imput fellas I'll prolly go with the 3600 seeing as I will see more street than drag time...Also I plan to get a rear end once the Motor/trans are in and I start focusing on suspension. Prolly be my next deployment purchase. But for now I think I'll just rock the 10 bolt with the gears...
