Default A6 capabilities?

Well, I tried searching an got to page five and couldnt find what I was looking for. A bunch of buddies from my club, mainly AWD and one done up integra go auto-xing every so often. Ive currently got a 3200 stall matted with the A6 and use 4 tranny coolers to keep her under 200* but if I romp on it I can start to cringe.

My question and hopefully someone can answer, what would be the ideal size stall converter to run in the A6 without cooking the tranny doing a couple laps?

Stock. Guys with bigger stalls cook the tranny

Now with the A6 as the A4 we teach you how to shift. One must manually downshift the any automatic for any power to be used in aut0-x. Other wise the tranny shifts in the wrong places

Yeah I planned on using Smode, the novice track my buddies went on over the weekend said they didnt break 50mph so. Now I just wonder how bad a performance loss im gonna see going back to stock.

Skill and seat time. Plus more and more seat time. That is how you lower your times

Good Luck
