Default T/c

Will a Torque Converter cause a problem with a Stock Rear Axle? If it wont what would be a good stall? I dont want to go above 3k.

I have an 00 SS A4.

Anyone and everyone on the site will tell you it won't be big enough. I wanted a 2800 and decided to trust everyone and up it at least to a 3200 since everyone says 2800 isn't enough and you'll just want more. I found a great deal on a 3600 and was scared to go that big when I originally wanted a 2800, a week after installing my VIG 3600 I wanted bigger. . .lol. Trust the guys on the site, go bigger. The rear end in autos isn't usually a problem, cause you can stall it up a little and preload the rear end and it doesn't get the "instant shock" that M6s do

As far as the rear end question, there really is no way of telling when yours will go. Some people are running 10's on the stock 10 bolt. Even with that stall, I don't think it will put nearly the stress on the drive train that an M6 does. Just becareful.
