M12 to A4 hp. difference? Help
If I did a manual to automatic swap, what percentage difference in horsepower should I expect? Should there be a drop in horsepower with the automatic?

EXPECT to make 5% less (on the average) rwhp with an A4 tranny vs. M6 or M12 but if your C5 makes 390+plus rwhp, expect to bitch slap the manaul tranny C5 in a drag race that is making 5% more rwhp than you!!
There is no doubt, when it comes to drag racing high performance cars, that you cannnot beat the consistency and ets of a point and shoot automatic!!
