I can't count how many threads I have seen *WITH DA* calculations to back up their findings that going from 323s-373s they pick up little to absolutely no gains what so ever swapping gears. So why do you think going from 273s-323s would be any different? I have not a doubt that you might see .1-2 going from 2.73s-3.73s... But I would be SHOCKED to see someone pick up even .1 going from 2.73s-3.23s. For the price, not worth it.
In an M6 car, gears matter. In an A4 car, sometimes it changes slightly, sometimes you see no gain.

Not necessarily. In theory, this would be correct but ONLY if you were still able to maintain equal traction with the 3.23s; if not then you'll lose any launch advantage of the extra gear.
