Default Advice On Gears/torque Converter

I will be installing the ECS supercharger kit on a stock LS3 A6 w/NPP. Should I consider changing the stock gears (2:73 I believe) and/or the converter or is it a waste of money unless I change rear tires etc.? If so should I go 3:15 or 3:42 on the gears and 2800 or 3000 stall on the converter? Thanks for the advice & input.

If you are staying with stock tires, leave your stock gears alone. A centrifical blower will make quick work of street tires and a convertor/gears will make it even worse.
