The last time i had fun on the top end side i beat the NSX but got the ticket!! Appreciate the feed back, Thanks, Steve
3:73/ 3:42 is optimal for the A4 and 3:73/ 3:90 for the M6. Good luck

sounds like he has an A6 2.56 is the best gearing for the A6 IMO, 2.73 if you are not going to add any HP

SoldSyclone--Do you feel too much sacrifice at top end to go above 2.56 or do you have any experiences with a C6 gear change that could shed some light? Thanks, Steve

I was wondering...I just put the borla stingers (2)w/x-pipe from borla, on my 07' vert. My next question was, which air intake to put on? Halltech, Blackwing, or K and N; but Dick G. really said that?
