Sounds like you're good to go. The converter and tranny cooler are excellent mods for an A4. I don't have any experience with a shift kit in a 4L60E,though.

Nothing wrong with that. You're going to buy a 12 sec car...

With decent traction, expect 12.2 - 12.5 in the 1320! Congrats!

Those are good mods assuming the shift kit was properly installed. That's easy to check though. Just drive it. Does it shift nice and crisp without hesitation both at part throttle and WOT? Doesn't shift TOO hard does it? Is the 2-3 shift quick and crisp even at WOT? Ok, you're probably good to go.
