Bigger tires ??!! If it's got 14.5R20s you have 43"+/- unloaded radius. It leaves about 4 inches between the rear tires. Bigger is not a safe option. Slinging 280lbs. at 50 mph will cause tires to expand another 1" + . I've seen mine do it on the dyno. When running @ full speed , gap is about...
2000 series Allison . Same beast as 1000 but can handle more torque.
Transmission easy swap. Electronics another matter. Should be done in a month or 2. Will keep everyone posted. Kit will run around 5-6K Includes Transmission, Torque converter, wiring harness and TCM (computer).

I am seeking other A3 owners for parts swapping and technical info.
Currently upgrading to Allison 6 speed auto on one of my trucks.
Also bumped Cat 3116 output to 220HP on same truck.
Thanks

Tire pressure shuld be 45psi. You will need 1 or 2 - 1 pound shot bags for dynamic balancing. Also make sure wheels are true. 1/8 of an inch off @ the hub = inches @ the outside of the tires.
