Cuz I am thinking about doing something like this in the near future...but I don't think my stock A4 would like that much power...wonder what a new beefy tranny would run...just out of curiosity- what does something like this tend to cost? H\C package installed?

The clutch was changed shortly after the install and believe me it (the clutch)wasn't great from the time I bought the car (used with 7700 miles). I went with a Z06 clutch and went through about 50 or so launches without problems. As the clutch started showing signs of wear, I went for the Cartek stage 7 clutch which can take a lot of abuse. So far for the rest of the drive line so good no problems. The only other drive line upgrade was a 4:10 rear and hardend output shaft.

As far as the transmission is concerned, there are a number of shops out there which can make the 4L60E trans more durable. Rodney at RPM transmissions comes to mind he is Crashed 94 on the forum. Good Luck.
