4.10's are the only gear I'd stick in a H/C 346 A4 car... unless I was planning on spraying. With the 4.10's you'll be good for 120+mph traps and that's low 11.1 - 10.9 territory.

I would stick with 3.73's cause seems to me that ur running out of gear. I mean i don't have the mods u have but i finish the 1/4 mile at almost redlining third with 3.73s. ur talking about runing alot of overdrive here. A big mistake people make is having alot of stall and not enough gear so think about that. Ur running a 4G stall that doesn't leave much gear if ur gonna go with 4.10's but thats just me.

4000 stall, 4.10, short tires and a A4- that is one hell of a hole shot if it hooks. The 4.10 would leave you room for a taller tire if you wanted later. What gear are you using now? If you are running a 3.42, then the 3.73 would hardly be noticeable.

With 4:10s in Drive looks like about 6500RPM at 125 MPH.With the old 3:42s about 6100RPM in Drive/121 MPH.

With the Yank 4400 and 4:10s it pulls 1.40-1.42 60's.
