Dont bother. The 2.73 at most gives you .10 at the strip, probably more like .05. You can pick up far more than that at less cost by buying yourself a $500.00 HP Tuner and just disabling TM "upshifts". That change alone picked me up at least .15 seconds.

dealer check
Dealer said gears were $1,500 plus labor but they said GM would not give OK for software upgrade on the trany. GM says Feds tie their hands with making the after market mods. Not sure if I buy this but $1,500 killed the deal for me. DTE can do it all for a better value.

I consider 3.15's the way they should have came, and 3.42's for the agressive cars. Just my opinion, but the cars definately do not feel over geared with either of them, even in light F/I apps.

I always get the biggest kick out everyone hating the 2.56's and wanting to go to the 3.15's. If someone with an A4 came on and said they wanted to put in 4.82's in their car, they would be laughed off the forum. But that is exactly what the A6 with 3.15's is like, an A4 with 4.82's.
I still think the stock 2.56's are an excellent street gear. It's like an A4 with 3.92's so it's excellent for acceleration, but it's also great in 6th gear for cruising and getting stellar fuel mileage.
