What RPM is your A4 running at 60mph? I think you would be much happier with 3:73's.

at wot it usaually kicks out of 1st about around 45mph so my best guess is prbabbly about 5500-5800 i dont really know exactly havent had much time to really test it out yet..

I'll agree that you're over geared for factory size wheels/tires. I can bet that on a true 1/4 mile track you're probably going to hit the rev limiter, or get very close, before the traps. 3.73s would be a better choice.
On a street combo, 3.73s with ~3500 stall are killer. You would have been better with stock gears and a stall than 4.10s.

Seems like everybody here is saying you went to far with the gears, well in any case I have to re-itterate, HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE WHEEL SPIN WITH 4.11 GEARS IN A LS1 ON STREET TIRES ON THE STREET. That must have been the perfect surface with the perfect street tire ant the perfect time with you applying the perfect amount of throttle. That makes racing AWD cars pretty depressing from a stop.
I ran a black EVO the other nite not sure if it was a 7 or 8 or whatever, don,t even know what that means...
I ran him from a roll cause I knew he had all wheel drive and I was on street tires.
He kept up pretty good for a bit but the faster we went the farther behind he got.
I rolled the window down at the next light to talk to him but he wouldn,t even look over.....
He did launch the car from the light and lets just say next time I run one of those cars I am going to have my Nittos......it launched HARD.

It was most likely an Evo 8 you raced. Stock they run good but with minor mods they can be a handfull. I ran one with a turboback exhaust, air/fuel controller and another minor thing or two and he beat me by about a car from a roll. As the speeds increased I was able to match his speed but not get ahead. I also was in the Evo with one of my 225lb buddies(read three full sized adults in the car) as he pulled my other buddies 98 Z28 six speed on the highway. These Evo's are running 20psi stock that tapers off as revs increase, if you get some electronics to keep that 20 psi throughout the range and get your air/fuel ratio under control they are enough to beat a lot of cars from a roll. That and the fact that they have AWD means it's a car to watch out for. Just because it has four doors doesn't mean it's slow
