How was the shifting with the extra power running through the A8? I'm getting ready to do almost the same build except lower pulley will be 9% and I will have a mild cam installed also.

Thanks everyone. Just edited the first post with the video. Check it out.

DA was showing -500 right before our run.

We have the trans tune perfect on the c7Z's at this power level. 1.44 60ft and consistent 9 second passes all with the shifter in drive.

Will the stock trans tune work with this power level?

The short answer to that question is yes!!!
The problem tuners run into is they mess up the tq model on the engine side which effects the trans side..

That's what I understand. In a few weeks Vengeance is going to finish up my mods and tune my car. I really hope to keep the drivability of my A8 close to factory smoothness.

Not bad for an $80k car, but...you can go A LOT faster for A LOT less.
