Default New Setup!! Sound Good???

Ok so i've decided the next mods i wanna do are the tranny. So far this is my plan... SS4000 stall with 3.73's in my stock 10 bolt with the transgo shift kit and a 24K b&M supercooler. How does this sound?? any other suggestions or substitutions or anything I should consider adding?? Any opinion or knowledge is appreciated becasue I really dont wanna buy everything get it installed an not like what i have. The car is a semi daily driver that will see some dig some roll racing on the street an maybe one or two track visits. Also planning on a possible cam setup later. Again all opinions appreciated an sorry for the long post.

I think you need to throw in a set of LCA's and some SFC's so you dont wheel hop, which will kill your 10bolt, even in an A4.


But overall, its a good setup for mid to low 12's

Definitely get a shift kit like transgo or something like that. I seen one for sale in the for sale threads not long ago.

How many miles are on your transmission? When I had my 3800 vig installed through Speed Inc, they suggested not doing a shift kit. My transmission has 70+k on it, and they suggested not opening it up. They said that whatever crap is possibly floating around in there, might in fact be good for the tranny, and might be keeping it together. They said this is what they typically do, or dont do, when it comes to older 4L60E's. Just a heads up. As far as stalls, I say go big or go home! My car is not a daily driver, but if it was, I could easily handle higher than a 3800 as my daily driver. Totally changes the car! You are going to love it!
