Need more info, what transmission and tire size will you be running?

But the general rule of thumb is, A4 = 3.73 and M6 = 4.10

3.90s.....

Stronger than 4:10 a tad longer in each gear, better mileage, etc...

I've ran both and will never go back to 410 or lower. It would be different of you had a cam and setup that needed the rpms in the 1/4. Say a big solid roller, etc.

I'm still having to wind it over 6300 going through the traps so I def don't feel you need lower than 3.90 in a mild street car.
