on motor that sounds like it has the potential to see 10's depending on the actual weight and how well the car hooks (what tires are on it?) On the bottle, I suspect that with 4.10's you will probably run out of gear unless you're running a 30 inch tall tire.. converter slip will have alot to do with that, but I'd suspect any more then a 100 shot will run you out of gear... your car shoudl have the ability to trap in the 120's on motor, on the bottle especially with a 200 or bigger hit it's gonna trap alot higher then that. Oh, and that A4, if it's a 4l60e, it's not gonna like that for very long.
