Yes, 3.67 R&P sounds right, just do not have the book with me, but I do know it's what they put in almost all of the A3 cars, in other words I do not have the shorter geared GTI gearbox or anything. Indeed, I could try a little taller tire, but wheel well clearance will limit me from going much taller than stock. Due to my typical commute being mostly highway, I think I have exhausted my gearing options with the .715:1 TDI 5th gear, should do the trick, now if I can find the time this weekend to get the gearset swapped I'll be in better shape soon.
