Default 3.73's survivability in violent launch A4?

I want to pick up some more in the top 1/8th, where currently my 3.23's are dying after hitting 3rd gear (last 8th). I cross the traps at a lowly 5,300rpms, rev limiter is 7200, shifts at 6900. I can get the car NA to pull the fronts (a few inches but enough to slow it down out of the hole) but generally tune the suspensioon/tires to keep it down, so I can hook and book. On spray the front rises more, and have seen 1.41-1.50 short times, with the smaller 175 shot. I dont want to break Gear sets, already replaced the stock for a stock rear after blowing out the spider gears (yes I know I need to suck it up and get a 12bolt, 9" or now drooling over the D60, but until then?)

Not like I am running an outlaw car, but for a daily driver she launches pretty good.
