Congratulations! Looks super fun.

How much power is it making on that pass? I also noticed you stay in 4th so is that on stock gearing?

I'm running a 2.73 rear geat at the moment for half mile. Probably making in the neighborhood of 1250whp. Hasn't been on the dyno so I am not exactly sure.

I didn't realize you went to a GS A6 rear end. Makes sense for the half though. 1st gear has to be touch to launch with a 2.29 1st gear and 2.73 rear.

Man, that thing hauls ***! Awesome run.
It's incredible that a GS rear can handle that kind of power, even with a soft start like that. Makes me realize that I really did waste money buying a Z06 diff...

There isn't much difference in a GS rear end from a Z06 besides the ratio on an A6 GS diff.
