Question Wondering??....

I have a A4 99 ss with 373's, lid, jet-hot LTS and hooker ORY running 13.4 spinning all the way through 1st. If i put a 3500 TCI and/or street slicks. Should i worry about breaking my rear end. IF so, tell me what i can do with out breaking it and getting into the 12's. Thanks

Rear T/A cover is about all of an option ya got. If ya put a lot of money into a 10 bolt it might let ya down! But the 10 bolt is pretty tuff for no bigger than it is.

so do you think that putting ET street or slicks on it will break it or putting a Torque converter will break it

The auto is going to be more forgiving the an M6 so ya get the rear set up good and tight it should last awhile unless ya get a little tire hoop that could cause alittle damage! All ya can do is run till it breaks then fix it or go to the twelve bolt based on how much its going to cost to fix the 10 bolt.But a 12 bolt is a good investment in the future!
