i have 3:73 in my a4 and with my mods it still has a hard time spinnig but i`m happy about it because it hooks and go`s but if i stall it then turn it loss it will spin until i let go but to much pressure on that 10 bolt it will break i have a moser 12 bolt if you decide to change gear ratio just break down and get a stronger rear end you`ll save time, money and headach

So I guess some people with 2.73s and good tires still spin off the line (idle). My car runs strong, but I can't do it. one problem might be the ORY hitting floor board and retarding timeing. I need to get LT4 knock module.

5 words dude: TORQUE ARM (and) LOWER CONTROL ARMS.

and not all lt1's have trouble spinning tires, just A4's with 2:73 gears.
