i assume u have auto from ur gearing...

150 shot on a stock tranny will be pushing it i'd say

mine was slipping with 3psi which made like 80hp over... and n2o hits much harder... maybe use pills and have it shut off while it shifts...

Re: how much power can it hold???? stock tranny??????

I have a stock A4 from a friend that used it on a supercharged camaro. All he did to it was put a shift kit in it, turned the pressure up. He was drag racing with it at the track, sith slicks(unkown power), and now that I own it I have put a single turbo kit (about 450HP) and have drag raced with it with no problems(street tires) and now am putting a twin turbo kit on it. I think that by putting a shift kit, and turning the pressure up, this definitly allowed for faster shifting. When the tranny shifts faster there is less time for the clutches to slip, and I am no tranny expert, but the less that the clutches are being used, the better. I will eventually be going to a TH400 w/trans brake, I dont trust the stock tranny that much, but it has held out so far to alot of beating.

Keep the shifts under 6000 and put a Transgo in it with regular fluid and filter changes, and it'll hold, for a while.
