what gears for hot cam& heads

I am presently running 373 gears in my car I am turning about 5200 rpm when I trap in 4th gear. I would like to be closer to my cars redline which is about 6300. Would going to 410s get me closer to redline? How much mph would I likely pick up? I am presently trapping between 111-112mph.
Thanks for the info.

I would definitely go with the 4.10 gears with the t56, the 3.73's are good in an A4 but not enough in the manual.

Yeah, 4.10s would definitely be better.

Anyone want to take a guess what my mph will be like?
Thanks,

MPH is hard to say, usually more gear means less MPH but it really depends on the whole trip down the track from the time the clutch is engaged. Spinning and traction can cause MPH to very so much...
