Here is the deal, my car is a 2002 SS SOM A4 and I am looking at getting a stall for it. Is a 3600 vigilante too much for it? I am wanting that TC along with the transgo hd-2 shift kit. Yes the car is stock, but fixing to order some 1 7/8 long tubes with ory and not sure on the rest of the exhaust yet, but also fixing to order the MTI clear air lid and SLP bellow, p+p throttble body is on its way already. So what do you guys recommend me going with?

The transmission shop here told me that doing a stall on a stock car is pointless and will slow it way down

 

Don't go back to that transmission shop is what I recommend.

 

Forgot to mention the car is a daily driver, 4.10 and girdle coming as well

 

why 4.10s' instead of the more popular 3.73s' for an A4 ?

 

That's the converter I run on my bolt on car with 3.23 gears and love it. I'd say go for it if you plan on doing bolt ons in the near future

 

I don't know what the better gear would be, 4.10 no good behind an auto?

 

I have the Yank SS3600 on my SS A4, backed with the 3.23's. I absolutely love that converter.

 

RUN away

I ran same for 5 years then added 3.73 for 4 years, added SS4000 for 1 year
added 9" /4.11 /27 1/2" tire
(4.11 MAY run out in the 1/4, have not tried it as on now)

I drove around for years with a Vig 3600, 4.10's, and a 28" Hoosier Quicktime. As far as running out of gear I think it will depend on the tire you run and future mods. The stall will not slow the car down but going to that idiot of a transmission shop will.

 

i have 3.73s with a circle d stall and i love it i would not recomend a 4.10s in a auto thats just my opinion

 

Sounds like 3.73's would be the better choice then! So what brand stall do you all recommend? How is like Circle D vs. Yank vs. Vigilante or any other brands

 

i got a 3600 stall in my a4 with 3:73's and i love the damn car even more now. it is a blast to drive

 

I like all of those that you have mentioned but I prefer FTI. Give Greg a call and he will build you a converter for your needs. I went by his shop and watched my converter get built which means he doesn't build off the shelf converters. However, any of those companies will do you right.

 

i dont know man but stock 2.73 and a tci 3000 sucks really badly until you go wot.....if your doing anything less than wot i do not recommend that set up..... i gotta get my 3.73's very soon!

 

How was that SS4000? I'm leaving in the 3.23's since, I've boosted the car.

 

Don't go back to that shop.

I highly recommend 4000 over 3600 unless you plan on spraying.

If you drive on the street more than 2-3 hours a week I advise against 410s. Having 323s, I wouldnt waste the money on a gear swap, there will be minimal to no performance gains and you won't hardly notice they are there... All along weakening your rear and hurting your mpg.

I recommend PTC for the converter.

 

Have to agree, had an SS4000 in both my cars with 3.73 gears and love it
