Ive learned the best highway roll for 2.73 a4 is about to 80. Drops right into high 2nd pulls to 100 then goes to 3rd. love the look on peoples faces when they see an auto drop to 2nd and pull that hard doing 80mph.

A buddy of mine has an 04 hemi dodge ram with superchips and that thing does 0-60 in 6.5 second. pretty damn good for a 6000 lb truck. He actully kept right up with me from a stop light to about 70. I was so pissed I popped my hood hoping there was something wrong and actually found my inlet temp sensor and throttle position sensor unhooked.

and yes 2.73 do suck, only good down shift speeds are 30-35 and around 70-80.
But you got to love going 80 at only 2k.
