Just wondering what the pros/cons have been frin a real drivers perspective

i would like to know this as well, this will definatly be one of my mods in the future but not anytime soon with out some first hand knowledge.

I believe none of the A6 guys have 3.55 gears. Most of them, including myself, don't believe the price for the install and the gears itself is worth the result. We are waiting for 3.73, or some of us have just decided to possibly completely swap out the rear differential.

Scrming thinks 4.10 or no dice =p But he's always a 'go big or go home' kind of guy LOL.

Yeah I am waiting but it will be done. Like Jagan said I would like the 3.73. Would be curious though how much the 3.55 would affect gas mileage. I would hate to lower it too much as it would kinda defeat some of the benefit of the v6

Cyber Gray · 04-22-2011, 08:50 AM

Me too guys I heard that 3.73 is the best for street racing and daily driving as well. The 4.10 is a killer for those who look for performance!

No one yet knows what a 3.55 really does on an auto.

Maybe Apex can help! He seems to know about those gears a lot.

Im thinkin 373 would be all ide want running stock components. 410 in an auto would be pretty torque'y

410s in an auto would make a great drift car. Wth my 19s and stock tires it's pretty easy power sliding as it is.
