Default Whats first for carnage?

After my run at the track and having no traction I am looking to upgrade to some drag radials. Car has stock drivetrain (a4, gears unknown but its a 98 z28). Will a drag radial yield alot more potential for carnage to the driveline?

Car is basically my daily driver but since i have a company truck I only drive it on the weekends.

I dont have a trailer and track is a hour away so I just want to be able to drive home at the end of the night.

Drag Radials have been know to kill 10 bolts mainly with the M6s. You might haul it to the track just incase carnage happens.

Yes drag radials are going to put a bigger strain on your rear end but most of the time it seems to hold if your not putting down a whole lot of power. Its kinda a hit or miss some guys run 10s with stock 10 bolt and some break them running 13s.

I have about 15 runs with Nitto DRs and the 10 bolt is holding fine M6 btw.

I bet you have problems with your A4 first. That was the first real problem that I had with my car.

With my car the tranny went first. Had one built and broke it too. Got pissed and bought a Rossler TH400. Rear end broke. Got pissed again and bought a Strange 12 bolt.
