Default Will my rear diff handle this??

Thinking about going to the track tomorrow night on DR's. Just wanted an opinion on whether my 10 bolt will stand up to DR's and launching it. My mods are in my sig. Any opinions will help. Ill be spraying it starting in 2nd gear.

Shifting with an m6 (powershifting) is REALLY hard on our cars... Id say try it if u have 2600 for a new rearend but if not, dont be to testy cuz ur chances of coming out in the end, arent very high! My buddy has a A4 he runs 10's on a stock 10 bolt. But he doesnt launch on slicks and doesnt drop the clutch. I wouldnt risk it unless u have money for a new 12 bolt or 9inch! Goodluck if u do try and let us know what u run!

i dont plan on dropping from 5000 rpm, im just using them to help with traction. Probably slowly let clutch out around 2.5k and go form there. Just wanted to get advice on how to NOT break it on DR's.

If you get wheelhop, chances are it will snap. Plain and simple.

Launch it low, and hope it hooks. Should be ok for a few passes, just watch out.
