Do some reading.. Get accustomed to what you are dealing with, then come asked some more advanced questions that may not be covered in the stickies.

And no, you never do "neutral drops" in an A4.. Unless you want to buy a new transmission.

it doesn't know the difference between a burnout or holding rpm for a launch, but you will after you get the hang of it.

much like it is with the stock torque converter, you can stand on the brakes and bring the rpm up just a bit. if you give it too much gas, it will slip the rear tires.

a torque converter is a fluid coupler. aftermarket units are smaller and allow for more slip. using a manual car as an example, the difference would be like popping the clutch at a higher rpm except that you actually leave the line and accelerate from that rpm (instead of bogging if you hook).
