Default will i run slower??

I'm getting a vig 3600 installed and I was wondering if I'd run slower because I only have basic bolt ons. but I do spray 100 shot at the track.
2000 T/A a4 lid/filter, stock catted y-pipe cut out, dry kit 100 shot. 10.5 et streets.free mods. pro tune.

Don't worry about the rear end. People really over-exaggerate how easy it is to break with an automatic. Do a good cooler and TransGo HD2 kit and the transmission should be fine.

If he hits that 100 shot out of the hole and hooks it, there is a good chance of the rear breakin or the drive shaft. The tranny will go soon after!
I am on my 3rd one in a little over a year. 1st one was the stocker which went 100 miles on N/A after the H/C build. The Stage IV trans from Rock on went 1000 miles later and 3 bottles with the 100 shot and no track passes. Now, FLT stage V is on its way.

My built 10 bolt has survived 1.54/1.56 60' last year with no issues. But, it is built up a little.

now I'm gonna only do 75 shot out of the hole.. you guys are scaring me.lol..
it's all a gamble tough I've seen stock 10 bolts take several 200 shots on slicks. I mean look at some of the guys in the 10's. but it is just on borrowed time I guess.

I know my car on motor has a 11.4 in it now that the tranny is not boucing off the rev limiter.. Also, I will be spraying it in 2nd on up.
But, if I get the 9" by the time the tracks open, then I will be sprayin that sucker out of the hole for sure. I got a set of skinnies bought and payed for form SJM which are the Bogarts bolted RT's so that ought to lighten the front up.

Good luck Bro!
