Default A8 stall converters

I'm in the process of doing a high hp build and I'm still not seeing anything as far as aftermarket stall converters go for the a8, anyone have any word on these?

Also while I'm on the subject I've been searching trying to figure out how these a8's are holding up to 800whp+ and haven't found much from people who have 800whp+ a8 cars, so how are they holding up?

Well I just spoke with Brian over at Circle D, I'm going to send them my stock unit so they can tear it apart and start developing a stall unit for our cars.

*taking one for the team*

Keep us updated with how it goes. I know down the road a stall was something I was looking at doing.
