Default A6 transmission upgrades?

Does anyone know if RPM or other sources have an upgrade for the weaknesses in the A6 yet?

What weakness, Spin? Something new, or are you gonna go over 500rwhp? I think if I were to go much higher in HP, I'd probally just swap in a Rossler 4l85 HD built or something more attuned to drag racing.

Yes, Rodney/RPM have done some work with the A6/6L80 already, I'm not sure about the specific details or what areas they were able to improve upon yet though.

From what I understand (and have experienced with my own) the trans is pretty damn strong even in stock trim though.

Yeah my time with the 05 is coming to a finish line. I will offer to sell it modded or return it to stock. The new car will be an 09 A6 S/C/cam/headers/and anything else I have access to.... w/8lbs boost.
