Gears for my D.D. My car is my daily driver and I was wondering what gears I should go with? I have the mods in my sig but soon to have a head/cam combo . Then I will run spray to get into the 10's. I would like low 11's on motor and 10's on spray, would 3.73's be ok or should I go with 3.42's? Thanks for the help in a dvance.

but i have driven a 3.73 A4 on the highway and it wasnt so bad. unless you drive ridiculous highway miles everyday i would do it
I noticed on spray i wish i would have kept my stock gears. NA though 3.73 perfect, except if you take it on trips with wifey, that sucks, at 80 car is humming at 3000. My car is not my DD anymore.

I chose 3.42s myself for my daily driver.

I've seen a few cars repeatedly break 3.73s, then switch to 3.42s and have no problems.
