Default pulling the wheels at the track

whats the minimum setup you would need to pull the wheels and carry them a little. i have a 550 rwhp 02 auto camaro on nitrous with a 3600 converter. 4.10 rear is going in but i was thinking maybe bigger. also i run et street slicks, 26.5 tall. what needs to be moved to the rear(battery) ect. thanks for the help,

My car pulled the wheels with 435rwhp last year... simmilar converter, same gear, Hoosier DOT tires, 3500lbs raceweight... you should be yanking the wheels pretty good with an A4 and 550RWHP and traction... what kind of sixties are you cutting? ET & MPH?

4:10's with a 26" tire might be too steep for nitrous. Probably won't hook either. Battery in rear is ok, plus some adj. shocks front and back, torque-control arms, subframe connectors amd probably a good rear sway bar. De[pending on the shot of nitrous I'd go with a 28" slick and either 3:73's or 4:10's ( depends on how much nitrous)
If you hook, they'll pull up for sure, I pull mine with only 466 rwhp NA(unlocked).
