if i have under 350 hp and i throw some drag radials on... will i bust up my rear end? even with the stock converter and 3.23 gear and the bfg g-force kdw tires i still have some bad traction problems. i just want to go go go and not spin all the way thru 1st.

 

Its not the axle you need to worry about. With my mostly stock Z I shaved a tooth on my ring, broke my yoke, and snapped the u-joints off my driveshaft. Personally i would not put DRs on a stock rear, but thats only bc i busted mine twice. I know what you mean tho....i could not launch at all bc i would spin all the way into third. I upgraded to a 9inch and plan on getting some DRs for next summer.

 

Some guys hide their 10 bolts behind their autos and make it, some dont. Ive only run 6 speed cars or high hp auto cars, so the 10 bolt had no chance anyway, but I would be careful with it. The ring gears and posi's both love to break, no $ into them will help. Is it something you want to just have some traction with for now, or are you looking at it as a permanent solution?

 

maybe ill hold off on the dr's. what are some things i can do to suspension to help traction?

 

Since you have an A4, I wouldn't worry about running drag radials. I am making about 400 fhp, and have run DR's and ET streets at the strip and on the street with no damage to the rear.

 

ya. its not like i can dumpin the clutch at high rpms. i have the stock converter so im not puttin all the power to the wheels at once.
