It's around 1200 bucks for the upgraded tcc clutches and aggressive billet stator. It's a little on the loose side on a cold start before the transmission gets up to operating temp but after the trans warms up and the torque converter clutch starts applying it isn't bad at all.

Congrats, that ET/MPH for the mods is awesome. I remember your 2010 car.

Giving Circle G a call today about having my convertor restalled. Have plans coming up for my build so I'm looking to do a convertor while the motor is out. Should be able to go a little bigger on the cam with the convertor that you have. Now things are getting crazy.

Thanks man. I miss my m6 5th gen! I still drop in over on c5 just to check things out. They have some really impressive a6 bolt on cars now.

Chris will get you fixed up! They also have full billet converters on the market now I believe.

What is your launch procedure? Are you running the stock shift points? I am looking at doing a converter soon possibly. I have been stabbing the stocker off idle and have gone as good as 1.577 so far. Lately I think I have gone the wrong way on the tire pressure and haven't been 60fting very well. I can't get this wheel/tire combo to spin if I had to. Brake stalling loses me about a tenth in the 60ft. I am heading back to the track Sunday on E with as little tire pressure as I can run to shrink the tires as much as possible. MPH be damned. It is all about ET right now.

Everyone I know that is fast is locking the converter as early as humanly possible. The A8 has that ability in 1st. I am messing with locking and not locking it in 1st but you need to have it locked up as soon as you hit second. After the launch, tq multiplication doesn't exist anymore. That thing needs to be straight 1:1.

Why am I trying to help you out. LOL. You are going to beat me to the 10's.

I've had the best luck stalling to around 2500 before launching. Haven't tried off idle with e85 yet though. I tried locking the converter in 2nd and it helped mph but hurt et. Again I haven't messed with it since switching to E. The only shift point I changed was first. Stock was shifting at around 5500 and I brought it up a little. I'll try locking the converter in 2nd next time I'm at the track.

I'll take any other advice you are willing to give out! It's greatly appreciated! Considering the weather we are experiencing in Kentucky right now, I won't see a 10 second slip for a while haha.

I had the same plan to leave the stocker unlocked until hit 4th and had some steam. All my race buddies said I was crazy. But there really isn't any advantage to unlocking the stock converter as far as I can tell in my 60fts. I will mess with it a bit tomorrow and see what I can do.
