You didn't say if you had a M6 or an A4. If it's a M6 I would get a 12 bolt with 4.10s, HD Eaton posi, 33 spline axles. Then I would save up a couple hundred more and get a RAM 6130/402 VDS clutch system. Those two mods alone with some tires will shoot you into the 12s with some driving. If you have an A4: get either a Yank ST-3500, SY-3500 or Vig 3200 or Vig 3600, B & M trans cooler, and 3.73 gears. With some tires you will be into the 12s easily, probably 12.50s or better.
