Drag Tires and the week rear end 2002 LS1 with an A4 and no stall running this equipment: SLP frame connectors, SLP dual dual cat back, SLP Y Pipe, (aftermarket pan hard rod, lower control arms and torque arm), Shock tower brace, thermoatate and fan control switch, fast toys ram air, Fast Toys maf ends, air lid and bellows kit. Considering I have the week posi rear end, w/323s which tires should I run. I'm trying to keep this rear end together for two seasons do I have a chance?

Re: Drag Tires and the week rear end The stock rear shouldn't pop that easy with just drag radials. Now if you are talking some M/Ts and some high rpm launching... it doesn't stand a chance.

Re: Drag Tires and the week rear end Put whatever tires you want on. I have the mods in the sig and I run M/T ET Drags. No problems yet. I race every weekend sometimes both nights. I know of several others that run about the same times I do and into the 11's that keep the stock rear. Us A4 guys don't usually have the critical rear end problems that the M6 guys have.

Re: Drag Tires and the week rear end I agree, I have also been pounding on my SS for the second season pulling 1.46 60s and no problems. I did switch from ET streets to ET drags , but A4s are a lot easier on the drive train than the M6s. I'm not saying you won't break it, but I have tested mine to the extreme like you can't imagine. Just go for it and have fun. You can't go fast and not expect something to give sometimes. Good luck.

Re: Drag Tires and the week rear end Thanks for the information. With the price of the 12 bolt and the money I have already spent my choices are limited. I ran a 13.36 at 105 last fall bone stock. With the mods I've added this spring I expect 12.90s We will see hah!
