Default Will The Trans Handle this? Please help!

I`ve got MTI S2 heads / X1 cam with a 100 shot and a 12-bolt. My Trans is stock ( A4 2001 WS6) With H/C running about 400rwhp and on spray about 550rwhp. My stock trans should hold up for awhile wouldn`t you think? I`ve got a Vig 3200 stall also. Please help! Thanks! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I dont think you will make more than a couple passes spraying before the 3-4 clutches are gone.

It won't last long. 20-30 passes maybe. 3-4 clutches will be toast.

Bad News! Your right I toasted 3-4 gears. I didn`t even get one good pass on her with juice and she went down. I cannot believe my bad luck! I just put 17000.00 in her. The only thing I didn`t touch was the trans, this sucks! I don`t spray threw shifts at all. The only good thing is MTI is helping to try and save cost on the rebuild, Jayson and company are great people! For you guys who think it might last, don`t chance it! I`ve learned the hard way. My wife is pissed! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I had a feeling I was being entirely too optimistic when I said maybe 20-30 passes.

400 RWHP + N2O + stock 4L60-E = <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[kaboom]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" />
