Wanted to do gears but didnt wanna go 3.73's cause I like to take hwy trips. 2.73's kick *** for that purpose maybe 3.42's would give me the best of both worlds?

if you don't mind turning damn near 3k rpm on the highway, get 3.73's. i turn 2300rpm with 3.23's in my auto LT1.

btw, if the LT1 hooks, the LS1 is gonna be playing "catch-up" the whole 1/4. he's gonna be ripping through 2nd well before you even shift out of 1st.

if he hooks, LT1 by maybe 1/2 a car. if not, it's in the bag for the LS1.

the ls1 still has a pretty good advanage in hp. should have him in the 1/8th then its all driver and hole shot both leave good you lose. get heads, intake, cam and headers with the 373s then you should win easy. 342 is a good middle for the a4.
