Default what should i expect?

well i finally got to run my car with the pacesetter LTs on and i couldnt seem to hook at alllll but i did manage to get a 13.68 at 104 with a 2.37 60ft.. i know i can get into the ones with the 60 cause stock i went a best of 2.09 and that was without DRs . so im thinking about putting slicks on a set of wheels.. do i have enough power to break my rearend? its an a4 97 TA with freemods and the LTs.. what should i expect with the slicks?

A 3.73 gear will help with the 60ft some, a stall converter would help out also. Get you a good tranny cooler and a shift kit with a precision industries converter (2800-3400) and some good tires and that thing will do low 12s on good tires and 3.73s.
