Mine was running at 210 in the city and now with my B&M in dosnt get above 180.

He means a tranny temp guage if I had to guess.
You can run a 4000 stall in a A4 and you will have a chance of your tranny breaking.
The 4L60E is about the biggest POS in the GM plant, goes right along with the 10 bolt and the power window motor's.
Any converter can cause tranny failure, its all a matter of luck. Make sure you add a HUGE tranny cooler to be safe.
