Will 3.73's cause car to shift differently or hit rev limiter?? I am going to get some 3.73's (stepping up from 3.23's). Will this cause my car to have to be tuned in order to not hit the rev limiter or anything, or will they be ok with the present tuning? The ls1edit will be done to correct the speedo

The whole idea is to accelerate faster, so you may
run up from {>MPH shift}*{>RPM shift} to rev limit
slightly quicker. Tranny (A4) has finite cycle time
and there's a chance you would have to give it a
little more "lead time" to avoid tagging the limiter
one pop. The MPH for same RPM will now be a whole
lot lower, you might never satisfy MPH. The WOT
MPH really will have to be scaled down x 0.86 and
you would probably like the part-throttle tables
and TCC lock/unlock points done too.
