Default a4 gear swap?

car is a nitrous setup. 420 rwhp on motor and i shoot a 200-250 on it. i have a 3.23 rear and the car is used just for street racing, crusing, or at the track(99% 1/8th mile) i do not care about mileage or rpm crusing. the car just wont 60 foot and has a 3600 converter (2.0s -2.2 on motor) which gear do you recommend, 3.73, 3.90 or 4.10, thanks

If you are using shitty tires then gears are pointless. Get some slicks or E.T. Streets and your 60ft will drop. On the N2O time in the sig I sprayed a 150 shot out of the hole with ET Streets @ 15psi and cut a 1.52 and still spun about 15 ft


EDIT: I am using 3.42s out of a 6 spd car
