Default fast or 410s

im getting the itch to do something to the 2002 ss. it makes 425 rwhp a4 stalled ss3600. its a sunday driver. maybe i could get 20 rwhp with fast 102. car now has 3.23s. if i did a new rear with 410s do you think i would gain more 1/4 mile time with the 410s or the fast.

I would up the stall speed further before I would consider 4.10s for an A4.

Get the intake, IMO.

In a stalled auto, gears won't do a lot for you. If you already have heads/cam then I would get the fast. It will cost more but will probably give bigger gains.

agreed. fast over gears especially in an auto. it'd be a different story if you had 2.73's though.

I disagree. With a 3600 stall already in place, the Fast would still be the better choice IMO. As said above, 3500+ stalled 4L60Es don't see big gains from gear swaps. Only reason to change them is if you want that extra tenth or so for a track car, or if you're one of the people that is easily bothered by the "looseness" of your stall with stock gears during street driving.

I agree with all of the above the above and your best gain will be seen with better heads at your point IMO opinion .....

Let me speak from actual experience with a sallied auto and 4.10s in a stock 10 bolt. I went from 3.23s to 3.90s then for shots and gigs I swapped in some 4.10s. Now my car already has an SS4000. I pretty much could do zero highway racing with those gears and at the drag strip I couldn't hook at all on the Hoosiers until the last pass when I pulled the fr
