I'm not getting any play in the drag racing section, so I'll post this here and get some of your opinions. Quite a few of you are running A4s. Now that I'm going to have to drop serious $$$ on the drivetrain, I'm changing my wants from comfortable road trip car to car that is street driven around town now and then and taken to the track.
We had talked about the gears before and Doc recommended 3.73 over 3.42, but maybe I can go even more aggressive now? Do want to be able to complete the 1/4 without shifting out of 3rd though. Also willing to go a little more aggressive on converter, but the tightest converter possible that will allow for high 10sec passes.
Throw some suggestions out there!

I will be replacing the ENTIRE Driveline behind the motor in a month ot two. Top notch Converter, RPM Stage V A4, DTE Stage IV rear diff. w/ hardened output shafts, and the DTE Transmission/Differential Brace. I want to be able to barely hit tens, i.e. 10.99 with either Nittos or maybe BFG Drag Radials (18in. wheels in back) and I'll be satisfied.
So with a blown LS1 ~ 500rwhp, and a lighter C5 (not sure how much lighter than an f-body), what is the best gear/converter combo to use to hit tens?
I want to run the most aggressive possible gearing while still being able to complete the 1/4 in 3rd gear, so 3.73? Maybe more? And the least agressive (i.e. tightest) converter possible with those gears to be able to sneak into the tens.
