Default A4 torque vs M6

Anyone know what the difference is in the A4 and M6 that increases the manuals torque? Is it just in the ECM's program or are there cam, etc changes? I'm talking about the 2004 motors BTW. Thanks :confused:

Torque Management on the A4 limits the torque to 300lbs. The motors are the same for the MN6 and the A4. The A4 is slightly more parasitic(requiring more to turn), this is true of all automatics.

Hope this helps,

Best solution is to have the car tuned with LS1 edit and have Torque Management turned off altogether.

:iagree: Turn up the line pressure while you're at it and it will run and shift like a whole new car. :D

:iagree: ...and upgrade to a Vigilante 2800 TConverter, or some other reputable aftermarket TC w/stall depending on street or track application desired.
