Default Need Help Making A Decision

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to decide which route to take in modding my 01 A4 3.15 C5. I just can't decide which one to do, and was hoping some feedback from all of you would come in handy. I was think of:

1) doing a 3.90 gear with a 3600 or 4000 stall and doing the complete exhaust with LG Pro Headers with a Borla Stinger.

or

2) keeping everything stock and just putting a blower on (probably an ATI.

Either way I will have a decent tire on the back. I do a lot of highway driving but don't go too far if I do. I probably won't take any long trips, but just drive in the city. I'm not too concerned about milage. My 98 Camaro sucks gas back at an enormous rate. I went the first route with my Camaro (3.73 gear/3600 stall) with complete exhaust and love the way the car feels, but having something drive completely stock when I want it to and have go like a S.O.B. when I want it to sounds very tempting too. I'm totally 50-50.
If anyone has any feedback, or if anyone has done either, or, I would great appreciate hearing your thoughts on the subject.

The only mod at this time is the most recent Vararam. The car is running 12.9 at this point.

Thanks In Advance!

If it were me.. I would go with option #1, mainly cause I love the way my car sounds with the LG system I have. However, if you just want the speed, obviously its option #2.

How about you get the blower and we can put it on mine and we will find out what it sounds like and feels like, then you can decide which way to go..
