Top end with 4.10's will be a little lower than 3.73's, but it will get your *** off the line good...I assume the car will be setup for drag racing...

Both selections are good...4.10's are just a little more peppy... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

4.10s with a blower and a stock rear end with that combination in your sig? You might want to ask Nick's opinion on this combo. It sounds like a formula to break lots of parts - especially if you're gonna be using a tire. Do your research and find out what's best for what you're gonna be doing. Good luck and have fun!

Best regardSS,

I have a 98 A4 with 3.73s in the punkin and I absolutely love them at the track. The only problem I have is that at 70 mph on the hwy I run about 2600 Rpm. I finish the quarter at the top of third gear, about 5800 rpm. Perfect for the strip but kinda deep for the street. Good luck, if I had the money I think I would have went with the 3.42s. <img src="graemlins/camaro.gif" border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" />
