Traction concerns after modding..
I've been driving my A4 Z51 for the past two years and its currently gettin some goodies added to it.. Car is supposed to be ready sometime in the next 2 to 3 days.. I haven't really gotten a chance to drive a modded vette before nor a car with an aftermarket torque converter.. I used to be able to SOTP with slight wheelspin when my tires were brand new.. I know that won't be an option anymore.. 
I recently changed my tires to BFG KDW2's, 255/295.. What should my concerns regarding traction be with the follwing mods!? How will my driving have to change..!? Please don't flame me on this but I usually drive like I'm being chased..
Halltech CAI + induction option
G5X3 / 114
SLP U/D Pulley
transgo shift-kit
3500 vigilante converter
LG Pro headers / off-road pipes
borla stinger catback
other required components (valvetrain, trans-cooler, 160 Stat, etc..)
I decided to keep on running the stock 3.15 z51 gears for the time being due to these traction concerns.. Does that make sense..!?
Car sees the street 99% of the time but I will take it to the drag strip a few times a year..
