Default Help With Gear Ratio

Hey guys I'm new to the forum and tried a search with no results. I just bought a 99' Z28 A4 with SLP lid and a Magnaflow catback. Its got 2.73's outback and was thinking about going with 3.73's. I have a buddy with a 98' Z28 6M and he's runnin 4.10's but I figure thats overkill for the A4 right? Thanks in advance for any help.

if u run the car in 3rd or d u will get a general idea of what the 373 would be like in od. 373 would be just a tad lower gears than 3rd with your 273s so the rpms would be just a little higher. if u feel its a bit much go with the 342s.
