Default Big Stall driving advise please

Hi,
I'm dropping a 390-410hp motor and a4 into a silly 200hp m5 rs this week. I'm going from a 5 to a 4400pt stall, 4:10s in it already. I know enough to launch real easy to make the 10 bolt last until I can get my rear end upgraded, but that's about it. Tuning will all get sorted out, but I'm hoping you can help me out by giving me driving advise..assume I'm an idiot. please?

I'd get used to the car, so the power and torque don't freak you out or stuff you into a guardrail. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

4.10's, 4400 + built motor is fun and mean... I went 11.5's with that combo and the car was an animal from a roll. If your car rpms a lot from a dead stop I sometimes drove in 3rd if most of my driving was below 50mph.

Thanks John,
Goal is to scare myself a little...150 shot will need to wait on the rear end I think, but weren't you running some outrageous times with a 4400 and spray? Might not be able to resist though, hope only using the shot @50+mph helps the glass *** survive
