Re: How will my A4 handle a shot?

A tranny cooler and going easy on it is probably the best thing you can do.

I know someone who ran a 150 HP dry shot on his V6 A4 tranny and when he pulled the engine/trans for an LS1 swap, the trans fluid smelled a little burnt, and he could tell that it was kinda hard on the transmission.

If you can avoid it, don't spray during the shifts.

Keeping fresh trans fluid in it will probably help too.

As for the wet/dry mini-discussion here...

Since our manifolds are designed to be dry manifolds (no fuel in them), spraying fuel into the manifold can be dangerous since fuel *could* puddle causing an explosion, so Dry kits *can* be safer. At the same time, the dry kits rely on the o2 sensors, larger injectors, or increased fuel pressure to compensate for the nitrous being added to the engine, which can cause a dangerously lean condition.

Wet shots on the other hand, can allow fuel to puddle in the intake manifold and cause an explosion. However they add fuel with the nitrous, so they tend to be easier to tune, since if you discover that your car is slightly lean when running the nitrous, you just up the fuel jet size.
