Hey Zeke and Mark
Hey Zeke and Mark What rpm do you trap with 3.42's, and what's your cruise rpm @ 70mph?
Same question for your Mark. I think you told me you cruised at 2600 @ 70 though. Correct? Whatcha trap at?

I know u didn't ask me ( 
), but I have been consistently trapping between 106-108 MPH with my 3.42's and I run under 2500 at 75 on the freeway.......for whatever that is worth.

I have 3:42's......at 70 is 2200 rpms. Always run a 104-105 no matter what I run in the 1/4, a 12.9 or a 12.69 I still run in the 105 area. Even before the stall converter I was running 13.1-2's at 105.

When I changed from 3.23s to the 4.11s my et dropped by 3/10ths, my 60's dropped by 1, and I picked up by 2mph. My trap rpms went up from ~4700 to 6k. The stall dropped my 60's by 2/10ths, the et (now) by 3, and the mph & rpm stayed the same.

It's looking like going from 3.23's to 3.42's isn't going to do much for me.
I'd like to trap around 5500 for more power on the top end for the ****** sandbaggers at the track. But I guess I could just use Nitrous instead.
Anybody have 3.7x rear gears with an auto?

3.73s are THE gear of choice for guys with A4s Rick. That is what Ryan runs....and Ellis too I believe. They will put you right in the 5-5500 range.
And my mileage went from 22+ down to about 18 or so....
