Default Do they even make these gears?

i have a 2000 A4 WS6 and was gonna go 3.73s but then again thought theres not a lot of sense in it cuz i already have 3.23s, so my question is does anyone specifically strange and richmond make gears between 3.73 and 4.10 like 3.90s or so thanks and leave your opinions on if this is a good/ bad idea too

Yes, Motive makes 3.90's for the 10 bolt but everyone seems to have good results with 3.73's. If you're dead set on 3.90's the only place I've seen them is thunderracing.com.

In the FAQ there is a listing of gear ratios vs. working RPM's for the common ratios.

The reason people recommend 3.73's as the highest as that is really the most gear you need with these cars, and arguably, you don't even need that much gear. Since you already have 3.23's, without a doubt nearly 100% of everybody will recommend a stall converter if it is outright drag racing speed you are looking for.

Gear swaps make the most sense to casual guys who have 2.73's and are looking to wake the car up. 3.23's are a good working gear already so the money is better put elsewhere.

You can easily become traction limited with even 2.73's and a stall converter.
