RPM has been known to do a few A6's including Melissa's 750rwhp TT A6. The stock one should be good (knock on wood) to 500-550rwhp. I'm near 475-480rwhp with 41K on it and it works perfect.

Wow, that many miles and almost all with that kind of power behind it?
Were there any sticky tire/drag strip or all out 'standing mile' type passes done with it?
And what torque converter are you using (if any)?

I get on it alot but with a KDW BFG only. Plenty of 130+ blasts though, many from 85-130 actually on the Turnpike. Shifts as smooth as the day I got it with 37K on it. Chuck COW A6 tune BTW, he swears it will help prolong the life. Stock converter and fresh GM fluid.
