Is your car an A4 or M6? And if it's an A4, what kind of stall do you have?

What size tires are you using. If you are shifting at 6400 and going through the traps in 3rd, then you are pretty well setup. 3.73s will put you higher in the rpm range and you may run the risk of shifting into 4th. Which is not a good idea.

3.73's would be alright if you run the 1/4...
But then I don't know all the variables of your car.
I, myself, am putting 4.10's in mine. I don't run the 1/4 anyways, it will just be an 1/8 mile car pretty much.
I guess it all depends on what you're trying to do with it.

Mark read this post real good should tell you that the 3:23s are fine with your stall size!
