Default Built A4 Review

I see on the forum people having RPM built trans/3.42 diff/stall converter etc…. Yet I never see any videos anywhere.

I would like to see some sort of review or clip of these cars to atleast see what I’d be getting! Youtube doesn’t really have much and if it does it’s over 5 years ago.

Any advice is helpful! Thanks!

So I had this setup a few years ago on my c5. 3.42 z06 diff, level 7 RPM 4l60e and a yank 3600. It was a solid setup. Car ran and drove great (when it wasn't blowing up whatever 5.3 we had in it at the time). RPM told me still to never let it 4-3 downshift and only run it hard out of overdrive. I put a ton of miles on it though with zero issues.

I’ve always ran derale stack plate coolers and try to get them in the air stream on the front of the car. On my c5 I cut out the license plate holder and made a tunnel to it. Worked great!
