For you guys running "built" A4s for RPM, etc., do you use synthetic or regular dextron?
Thanks

Regular Dexron will work just fine.

I think the answer would depend a lot on if you are stalled, I beleave the makers of most ( if not all) stalled TC say no synthetic use only regular dextron as the synthetic will not allow the tc to apply pressure correctly
just my .02'
