although you could say that the stock 10-bolt is a 9foot, meaning it will go about 9 feet before destruction!

I haven't had any trouble with my 10-bolt. I've been going mid to low 11s for over 2 and a half years with countless low 1.5 60fts. Even a 1.48 and 1.49 in there. It's all about the tire. I'm on slicks and have been.

Ehh It is.75 larger than the 9", it weighs more but they are pretty much indestructible for any street/strip car and can handle 1200rwhp.

Good point but it's still an overly weak link in the F-Body from the factory.

Kevin,

It does seem like you've had some good luck with your 10 bolt but don't forget that A4's are much easier on the 10 bolts than the M6 cars are.
