I went with 3.89 for street/strip after debating between 3.73 and 4.10

But is 3.42 to 3.73 that big of a diffrence. Seem's to me like there wouldn't be that big of a difference.

i get the impression from what other people are saying that 4.10s help the 60ft and 1/4 mile time, BUT tend to drop their trap times. If im not racing at the strip but racing on the streets and from rolls (low and high speed rolls) would i be better off with longer gears??? the car is a heads/cam/bolt on, tuned for 4.10s but actually has 3.23s lol

3.23 to 4.10 is a big difference. A4 or M6 car? Guessing M6 since tuned for 4.10? If A4 then 3.73 is probably a good choice and if M6 then 4.10 since the PCM has already been changed. 3.23 doesn't sound like much fun in a M6 lol

M6, 4.10s must be unusable in first since i get wheelspin with 3.23s
