Anyone running a Stall and Stock 4L60e?
Anyone running a Stall and Stock 4L60e? As the title says, how amny of you guys are running stall convertor in a stock 4L60e?
I have a 98 C5 with some bolt on's, stock cam, no spray, 87K. I have a 3.42 gear and Vig 3600 stall sitting in my garage. I loved the stall in my past daily driven turbo'd C5, but that car had a built A4 and a lot more power. I DD this car, and would just like it to be more fun to drive (i.e. quicker than the mid 13's it's capable of now) but I'm worried about toasting the A4. If I put in the stall, I'll add a cooler for sure.
Anyone having any luck with stock A4's in mid 12's cars?

probably 95% of the people here have the stock trans and a performance converter. You'll be fine, just get a cooler.
Im running an ss4000 with a cam peaking at about 6100rpm on the stock tranny, absolutly no problems.

With a good cooler the trans could last indefinitely. It could also go out in a month or two, there is no way to know for sure. I ran a VIG 3600 on a stock tranny for quite some time. I then (out of necessity) bypassed the cooler and kept racing it on weekends and it lasted about 2 months.

Awesome guys, thanks for the input!
I know I can have it built and throw some power to it, but I'm trying to not spend $10K on this car just yet. I'd really like it to be able to run some mid 12's on some bolt on's and sound nice, be a nice DD while I do some other (read: more important/more mature i.e. boring) things with my money.

Verdad Gallardo Oh for sure, but if I built it I will end up Camming it, then Spray, and Heads and a FAST, and Drag wheels & Tires etc... I'll end up with 10K in it. If I leave the trans stock It'll limit me from spending heaps on further mods... kinda backwards way of self control 
Knowing my luck the stock trans will toast itself a week after, the stall, and I'll end up on this path anyways

Cool. So now how fast are you guys running with stalled, bolt on, stock A4's? mid 12's? Elevens?
A friend of mine with an mildly built A4, SS3600, 3.42, DR's, LT's, X-pipe and Exhaust runs mid/low 12's in his Vette. No induction, 170K miles.
I figured I could equal that even with a stock Auto and a little better breathing, fresher engine.

Knowing my luck the stock trans will toast itself a week after, the stall, and I'll end up on this path anyways I love putting cars together, I've spent heaps of money on several setups on several car's in the past. I've had 2 different cars that have run 10's and as fast as 140mph with 4 different setups, turbo and nitrous, but I haven't personally owned an single digit car, though I have built and tuned a few. I want to build a 9 second car, but right now, it is out of my budget.
So instead, I'd like like to put together a simple fun daily driver setup, with a budget under $2500, just hope the stock auto will live behind a converter with moderately stock power levels while I invest and save and act boringly grown up
