What gears do you have currently? 2.73 or 3.15? It could be done though. I dont know why you'd wanna put 4.10s with A4 though

You can put 4.10's in a diff that came with 3.42's stock(mn6), but you have to find a place that knows what they are doing.
Keep yelling at people to, you will get far with that.

If I drove the car every day, or drove long distances on the parkway often, it would drive me crazy. But for the occation trip to Jersey or the east end, it doesn't bother me.

Be careful who you chose to do the swap, it is not as straight forward as most rear end gear swaps.
It is worth the money to have one of the supporting vendors do the job and get it done right.

Yes, that is stock. It's actually the performance gear ratio. You're choice of gears/stall would depend on your goals. 3.42's are great gears and work well with a decent stall. 3.73 are better, but you might face traction problems.
Do you drive on the freeway alot, or take trips? Are you going to use forced induction, nitros, or heads/cam?
Consider your future mods so you don't end up with more gear than you need to achieve your goals. It's an expensive mod, so plan well.

I WILL STAY HERE ,BUT if it was a forced induction 3.42 would be best
If a 427 is the goal 373 with Rodney's Transmission and a Vigilante converter would be my choice
