What did your car run with 3.42's, I'm not going to do the install myself, so since I have to pay I would still prob. go with 3.73's. Just to get the most bang for the buck.
Those are great 60 ft times with the 10 bolt.

I beat the daylights out of my stock 2000 A4 Z28's 10 bolt on a daily basis. It had 4.10's for a 2 series carrier and everything else stock. With a TCI 3500 and drag radials I only had a problem out of transmissions (5 in a year) but i never broke a rear end. BTW....my car got about 25,000 miles that year

6 speeds are generally harsher on rear ends. Especially when u power shift.

You guys are nuts. A 10 bolt is the strongest rear end ever.

Go launch it on slicks @ 6K. You'll be fine.

I don't know if I'd bet the farm on what you just said

but it looks like I'm going to find out how it will hold. BTW it an A4 so no launching at 6k. Like I said B4 nothing a credit card and a good excuse woun't fix.

You'll be fine with the auto, no worries.

Is it at the truck??
