6th gen A8 might be a totally different animal, but the 5th gens, if you lock at top of 2nd you might get a strong 60 and early performance, but the RPM drop is worse than if you didn't lock at all. Locking converters always pull the motor down.

Even with the gearing seems to me that locking up at the top of first not necessary but I've never messed with one of those cars yet.

If you look at BH's best slips, if you throw a 1.47 short time in there the car would go 6.9's in the 1/8th and run about the same out back. Would be a 10.85 ish slip.
