Yes.
A tranny cooler ran inline after the factory cooler and a pillar mounted electric tranny temp gage.
Next up would be a TCI shift kit although not really necessary until you start pushing 400 RWHP+, IMO.

What do you guys think about this converter on a basically otherwise stock car?
I'm planning on LT's, true duals, cam, blah, blah, blah, but everyone keeps talking about how a good converter was the best thing they did so I'm getting the itch to do the converter first.

That converter kicks A$$ I love it , it would be a great addition to a stock car best mod for us A4 guys ,If i was in your position I would do the converter first , best bang for the buck TCI 3500 stall colonel will tell you , the 3800 hits the tires harder being its stator is 2.6 and the 3500 is 2.5 but either way your gonna need some sticky tiires if you intend to race.

I think a TCI 3800 would work really well bolt-ons or bolt-ons and nitrous. I will be installing a TCI 4400 this next week in my daily driver.
King James- If you are looking at what bolt-on to do first, I would definitely do the converter first. You won't be disappointed!
