What else is required?

Have you tried some weight reduction ?

With a DR and negative DA you should be there no question.

Being an A8 there's not much driver dialing it to do. Launch it and hold the pedal down.  |
I don't know the characteristics of Nitto's but my Mickeys liked 20 lbs when I was near stock and 18lbs now.
Again, a 1.76 60' should be plenty in negative DA to get you an 11 slip but I would lower the pressure some more than 26 and leave at idle, it's been proven over and over again to be the best technique for quickest e.t.
I also disagree on the A8 comment, knowing your car and launching it correctly seperates the men from the boys. Good luck man, hope you get it.
