realcanuk, do you think this is all it would take to have an A6 live behind a stock engine with a supercharger(under 600rwhp)? I've been doing some searching and reading on some of your old posts and it looks like you have had a long road of broken parts and rebuilds to get where you are at now.

A lot of things have changed in the way we tune these trans now. My stock trans burned the clutches after about 100 runs at the track, but the tuning was bad, and I had no cooler. After that I learned to tune myself and how to make them live. Many guys running with much more power than that on stock 6L80s that last for a long time.
Whatever you do, make sure the tuner knows these transmissions.. and doesn't remove all the torque management, which is what kills them.

Its normal to break parts at the racetrack until you find and upgrade the weak links. On the street I have never broken anything, even now with 1000 rwhp.
