Default Need some opinions on TC selection.

I have an '01 A4 /w 2.73's. It went 13.1x@107 in bad conditions last week bone stock. Obviously this car makes a lot of power up top(my 60' was a 2.05). So far I've owned a 3.23 car with a vig 2800, 3.73 with vig 3200, and 3.73 with SS3800. I'm not looking to build an off the line monster like my 3.73's with the SS. I want to hook on street tires and pull hard up top. I figured the Y3000 2.0 STR would be good for that approach. My only hesitation is how loose will the combo be? I was also considering a TT3000/3200 which ever had the 2.5STR(yank's site is down atm). How do these feel with 2.73's? BTW I want to stick with the 2.73's so don't post responses like, "Switch to 3.42's they're much better" ect.
