Default Beef up the trans -A4

With high stall TQC I will need to beef up the trans - what should I have done? Car has 3.42 diff. Main use is street with drags and road racing for fun. Will the trans be difficult to live with on the street? Have ridden in vette with stock trans and SS3600 TQC and it is fine so the TQC should not be a factor.ttt

I sure want to end your frustration on this converter thing.
My trans was fine until I raced it at the milan dragway
Some last for 100 pases mine lasted 4 passes.
Thats with slicks.
If you track the car much even with all stock stuff its going to give up eventually.
Torque converter really doesn't blow the trans
The hard abuse at the track does.
The e-mails I sent you keep coming back ????
