Default Too Much for a 4L60E?

Alright guys...I am about done having a bunch of mods done to my car and I was wanting to know what some peoples opinions were on if it would be too much for my stock A4 4L60E to take. Heres A list

Long Tubes w/ no cats, loudmouth catback, agressive cam, 3200 stall, ported stock heads, timing chain, tranny cooler, chromeloy pushrods, double springs, ferrea valves, roller rockers, shift kit, Cold Air, injectors, and 150 shot to top it off. I used to have just the 150 shot and loudmouth on it. Even then I thought it ripped, but im just beginning to wonder if the tranny is gonna hold. I already know my rear is gonna go when I put some sticky tires on it. I am in the process of gettin set up w/ a strange 12 bolt w/ 4.10's. Let me know what you think.

If you spray it with nitrous, make sure you use a "window" switch" setup. This will stop the nitrous during the shifts, and the transmission will live longer, even with the other modifications.

IF your car was tuned allrdy with your Cam Install . I would get it retuned if your going to try and SPRAY using a wet shot. ALSO dont spray threw the shifts . your tranny should hold up

mine didn't even hold 379 for over 5k miles from 22k-27k on an 02, with no street racing and no track, hmm, I lost 3-4, I assume that is what will happen with that setup too.
