got to pay the price!

So level10 says they can build me a really good trans and converter all this for 7100.00 Ouch!

What would it be rated at?

[speedtrapped]

josh, the level 10 that I am installing with level 10TQ is rated 700+....my mechanic told me the PO of the RS6 paid almost $10k

[PALETTE]

What would it be rated at?

Exactly 700hp so right at the proper level but then what breaks? Diff?

Is that in Canadian dollars? If so, isn't that like $47.50? (Kidding! I know the exchange rate is pretty much par these days!)

Seriously, though, I'm sorry you cooked your tranny. That's what warranties are for, eh? I'm sure you'll be out terrorizing the Great White North again soon.

A RS6 owner must make sacrifices

^^^^^^^ perfect analogy

While the Engine was out I was going for Larger Turbo's. A Loba Hybrid Turbo kit from Germany was going to run in Excess of $4000.00. In addition to that a Low compression Head Gasket is required as well as additional fueling. All that with a good Map may get you 600-650hp. Oh! and lets not forget a beefed up Tranny is also required which my Warranty company was not going to cover. So the expense is extreme. Is it worth it? Your call. For me If I can get 520-530hp and about 550-600 ft lb of torque at the wheels I'll be happy. My Torque converter and Valve body are OEM since that's all the Warranty company would cover. Whether these beefed up TC's and Tranny's are actually better, I don't know. But If I blow this one, at least I'll be covered. Just food for thought...............
