I will tell you that i am running the Yank SY3500 & have approx. 30K on it...
It will wake that A4 up... Night and day difference..

Sorry i did not answer your question... Just wanted to put things into perspective...

For a street driven car, get a lockup!

Lock up makes the connection more mechanical like a clutch vs the fluid coupling before lockup. It lowers RPMs and increases efficiency for cruising/daily driving.

DO NOT GET A NON LOCK up if your going to drive it on the street much. I have the 3600 vigilante on my car and love it to death. A bit on the pricey side but well worth it. My mechanic also told me vigilante 3600s are underated at 4000 rpms. I can kinda vouge for that because with it I can never get traction again. Easily smokes the tires from a dead stop.
