Default Recycled topic - Calling all A4s (not the Audi)

What kind of launching sequence you guys use. I've seen this on the forum somewhere. Sorry for the repost.

Hold the brake and accelerator to what RPMs to take off?

Preload the trans from 800-1200 rpm depending on how sticky the track is. With my 2.73's, I usually go with 1200 rpm. :yesnod:

With the 2.73s, how much of a difference is apparent with having these or the 3. somes?

How much does it cost to install or buy these upgrades?
:confused:

Humy, the 2.73s are the base gears for the A4. You might want to consider the 3.15 or even better yet the 3.42s. The 3.73s maybe too much for a A4. Used range from $400-$800 or so. I bought them new (3.42s)for $900 something. You might want to call Vettewrench for install pricing in Naperville,IL. I believe install is around $500-$600. Hope to seeya at Uno's tomorrow and discuss the gears/TC further! :cheers:
