what pulls harder????

3.73's or 3.23's in an a4 i know 3.73's are quicker 0-60ish but from 60 and up if it was the same car just one had 3.23's and one had 3.23's what would be faster cause i have 3.73's but 90% of my racing is from a roll

3.73s' would be putting 15 % more torque to the carrier over 3.23s'.
More torque equals more pulling harder.

Lower gear ratio(higher number) equals more pulling power.

especially if it in a 6speed then you can have 3.73's and still have a hell of a topend.

In the quarter mile, the difference would only be in MPH and it would only be 1-2 MPH anyway.

From a highway roll, the 3.73's would pull a little harder but not a lot. In a car with a stock converter the difference would be quite a bit more.
