Default gear help please help me

ok im going to buy a gear and i just bought a yank ss3600 last weekend so now i need some help from you guys with the gear and cam. 98z with 2.73 right now.

i plan on going with a FMS Custom Grind Camshaft - 230"/232" .595"/.585" 114LSA - aggressive profile with a 2500-6800 RPM range. later this spring early summer and i was looking at 4.10s and yes my z28 is a A4. i only drive city and the highway i drive on to get to work is about 1/4 mile from were i get on to were i get off.

but with a 3600 yank and 4.10gear what should i be expecting as to dd? i have though about 3.73 and when i told my dad what i had planed for my car he said well my 69ss had a 5.13 in it and i drove it to work even though i worked 2miles away and it was fine so the 4.10 will be fine in yours.

my z is a dd and i do plan on takin it to the track this yr a coulpe times to get numbers on it, but the track is a 1hr away from were i live so would in the end the 4.10s and 3600 stall would problay be better if i went with the 3.73s for dd.

i have no idea how to judge the 3.73 to the 4.10 as of what power i will be making and where my rmps will be in overdrive. my car has 2.73s now

all i want out of my dd is 11.99 in the 1/4. and still be able to drive to school and work.

4.10s wouldnt be that good of an idea in your A4 i went 2.73s to 3.73s a couple weeks ago and the car woke up alot....probably the best decision itll deff. get your cam into its range faster

3.73 will be perfect for your application. You will be happy with that choice..
