its fine for me. i may add a tranny cooler before summer, but temps and everything look fine now. i LOVE it. my torque peaks at around 4500, so when you hammer it down its always in the power range. best upgrade yet.

I agree several years ago I was running mid 11s on my stock bottom end 98 A4 C5 Roadster with mild heads and cam and PROTHRUSTER YANK 4000 stall and 3.73 gears. If i knew what i knew now I would of put a lil old 100 shot on that car, kept it (like my original gut was telling me to do) saved thousands of dollars and have that and a brand new silver Z06 sitting in my garage right now. LIVE and learn!! That being said 4000 stall is no big deal on the street as long as you have at least 3.73 gears then it feels like a 3200 stall with 3.42 gears. GREAT COMBO and congrats on your new times and happiness with your C5!
