what gear ratio?
I'm planning on running around 112+mph n/a in the 1/4 and around 125+ on nitrous in the 1/4 mile...
buying a 12 bolt and just wanted some opinions on what gear ratio to run without running out of gear before the end of the quarter.. i'll be wrapping it up to about 6600 rpm's and most likely running a 26" tire but might jump up to a 27-28" tire for the nitrous...

Depends...M6 or A4??
If M6, Id go 4:10(Cause its like you have 2 OD gears, Still maintains good drivability)
If A4, Id go 3:73(Cause you dont want to many RPMs, you only have 4 gears vs. 6, so youll run out of gear if you have 4:10s in an A4. Not necessairly run out, but Its not good to turn lots of RPMs like that...Bad for your car!)
Hope this helps
