howmuch power before a new tranny needed
Have a 99A4 w/ ati sc making 452 rwhp, and want to put some gears and aftermarket TC in. thinking about 3.73's, how likely am I to blow my tranny going to the track 3-4x/ year (10-15 runs each visit) and driving normally on the street?

I was'nt able to make a full pass after my H/C install before the stock tranny ate itself. Do yourself a favor and have them install the tranny while they do your gears etc. Why pay twice????? Call Chuck at FLP for his Level IV...... :cheers:

looks like it (FLP IV's) costs around $2800 installed, there are trans go kits which help with the weakest links. Comments? Seems like the pros say that trannies are a wearable cmpt and when you beat on the car at the track at wot you're going to need to chg trannies. Steve at East Coast Trans in S FL says that they chg the wearable parts in those 7-8 sec cars every season and they're only driven on the track!

I got 2 WOT blast's to about 90 before my a4 died, this was about 500 miles after h/c install, It goes to a local tranny shop tomorrow, they build lots of racing transmissions so hopefully there rebuild will last a while on the street. It's going to run me 2k for r&r/rebuild.
90 Droptop,
Did you get your FLP installed yet? How is it working out for you?
