SS4000 and 3.23 gears. Although I get away with the gears with my tuning, I would rocomend some steeper gears for the track..

If you don't mind lope, chop, and shaking, it's fine as a DD.

Remember, with an A4, you can tune most of the issues out, like early lock up causing bucking, upshifting when you don't want it to, etc. After tuning mine, it was pretty much issue free on the street with the SS4000 and 3.23 gears. I would recomend minimum 3.73 gears for the track, 4.10's even better..

my buddy ran 3.89's on the street with his stalled t-rex a4 and it was smooth as a hot knife through butter. self-tuned and no issues whatsoever. and they say you can't street a t-rex
