Default Best gears for setup?

Can someone help me. Once I decide which stroker kit and supercharger to go with I figure I should change the gears and was wondering if anyone could help. Also suggestions for best setup I know it is going to cost a fair shre fo money but I am not over here in Iraq for nothing. Thanks.

Do you have an A4 or mn6??? With a blower you'll already be traction limited, especially if your going with a stroker motor. What are you setting the car up for i.e. track, DD, Weekend toy???

There are a few choices out there when it comes to SC kits but we just need a little more info.

I would use the car for mainly weekend drives and possibly a few drives to the other side of the state and track only to see how fast but not competitive. I have been looking into the Kenne Bell twin screw S/C's and a 383 stroker kit I would go for 402 but I think that is pushing it. I have an A4 that may need to be upgraded. Thanks for the info.
