I have a 98 A4 with 80k miles. Car will have lt headers, lid, ls6 intake and a 3800 stall. What gears would be best for a daily driver? 4.11 or 4.56? What would my RPMs be at with each at 60-70mph? What gas mileage do you all see with these gears?

My brother has 4.10's and a high stall in his car, says he wished he would've gone no higher than 3.73, but that's just him. I originally had 2.73 and got a deal on a complete 3.42 rear out of an M6 car and happy (lost an average of 5 MPG). To see what your RPM/MPH will be see the calculator at www.f-body.org/gears/

nothing bigger than a 3.73 on an automatic trans car for daily driving.
to top it off, with what you are looking to do, youre going to need a 12 bolt rear.
