im not sure if you would get traction with 4.10s SVT THIS, what size M/T radials do you have? My 16s do work a lot better it seems like than my 17s 
4400 stall! wow! must feel great, should work fine with the 4.10s and TREX that you have coming

I'll have to check tomorrow. I have stock 16in chrome 5-stars and the ET streets are a 26in tall tire. I should still be able to get some traction, if not, I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I'm more than likely going to see most races from a roll where I live-most people willing to race are driving imports-boosted or not, they need to see 6k rpms before anything happens!
And yes,
4400 stall on the street

See my sig for before/after 1/4 mile times 
.
I daily drove my car for 2 seasons with the 4.10's and had no problems (until I took the car on a road course
).
Sorry, no vid for you, but all I can tell you is that in MY experience, traction wasn't any worse than with my factory 2.73's or the 3.73's I had back in 2003. At the track, the car was dead hooking, and it was clear that the car needed a stall (it was bogging off the line!) But yeah, once the LS1 got over that ~3000 mark, the tach would ping off 6k in a blink!!
Even on the highway, drop back a gear and I was pulling on my buddy's 6-speed LT1 like he was standing still (from ~70+)

You must have missed where I said "until I took the car on a road course " ?? 
Like I said, I had no problems with them, and I also previously had 3.73's in my car (3 years ago) but they were a VERY bad set of Richmond's (whined like I had an ambulance chasing me
) so they came out, and I put back the 2.73's at the time until I went with the 4.10's. For 1/4 mile drags, they're amazing. And while they can/may limit your trap speeds in 3rd gear without going to higher rev limiter or bigger tires, they're perfect for a relatively stock LS1 trapping ~110 mph .I took my car on a road course, and that's where I sheared 2 teeth off the pinion of the 4.10's, and ALSO smoked 2nd gear in the transmission. SO, I now have a T56 being delivered to me, thus I'm doing the A4 --> M6 swap, and I plan to re-install 4.10's in the back again one day
.Had I not broke anything though, my plan was going to be adding a stall converter one day (~3200 - 3600 probably) because at the track, my car actually hooked so hard it bogged off the line! (even on street tires!)
Because I've had 3.73's as well, I don't get how guys can say you shouldn't go beyond 3.73's with the A4
... there's really not that much difference, and if you want the all-out performance, especially for the track, then what's so different between 4.10's in the A4 vs. in the M6 cars?? Guys run 4.10's all the time with the 6-speed, and the goal should always be running through the traps in the 1:1 gear (3rd/4th, depending on A4/M6).
