How many horses do I actually have?
OK, after doing some modding, I am wondering how many horses am I actually producing now? The car is a 2000 Trans Am, with about 38k miles on it, with the following mods:
K&N filter
Whisper Lid
Free Ram Air mod
SLP 85mm MAF
filed bump-stop on TB butterfly
Smooth bellows
Flowmaster Muffler (Stock pipes)
(I had the IAT timing tricker mod done, but I heard that the computer isn't fooled for long, so I removed it)

I hate to break it to you but those mods aren't going to free up a whole lot of hp. You didn't say if you have an A4 or an M6. If you have an A4, I'd guess right around 305rwhp.

Re: How many horses do I actually have?
Ok, I'll tell you what I got at the dyno just yesterday. All #'s are SAE corrected. I have a 2001 SS A4 with the following mods: FRA, SLP lid, SLP MAF, SLP bellow, SLP y-pipe, SLP dual dual exhaust, throttle body bypass, bump stop mod, and a K+N. With these mods I put down 308.1hp@5500 and 317.5@ 4100. Some of the guys there told me to get new pully's, a thermostat, and a ported throttle body and I should be around 330ish, with LS1 edit they said around 340ish.

Re: How many horses do I actually have?
the lid and 85mm MAF gave u about 12hp, but the flowmaster with stock pipes took back about 5hp... buy a real catback and u'll end up about 20 ahead...

Re: How many horses do I actually have?
Anyone want to take a wild guess at what I might be making? It's a 98 6pd with 47,000miles, lid/k&n slp lt's, no cats, and slp loudmouth exhaust. One of these days I'll get her dyno'ed. Till then I'm to lazy.

Re: How many horses do I actually have?
My dyno numbers are in sig. The only mods I have that actually add power are the lid and exhaust. I don't use Hypertech tuning, and my converter wasn't locked (I've been told that you dyno more with a locked converter).
