Default What power should this big cube setup make?

Here are the details:
418ci w/ max ported LS6 heads, Cola crank, Eagle rods, diamond pistons, yella terra rockers, cam should be about 230/240, asp balancer

Bolt ons:
QTP 1 7/8 Headers w/ high velocity merge collectors, TSP 85mm Lid, SLP 85mm Maf, Katech Ported TB-epoxied, Speed Inc stage 3 trans, PY3600E, LS6 Intake manifold, NGK Tr-6, Optima Batt, MSD plug wires, MSD 50# injectors, Walbro 340 pump

I would like to know what would be good numbers for this setup or what it should make.

Thanks andy

I would think atleast 500 - 550 rwhp......

a little more info would be nice:

- stroke and bore
- compression ratio
- cam size (durration, life, and LSA)
- A4 or M6

I don't think it will make over 500 on an auto. The cam should be more like a 242 or 244 with around .600 lift. Cola is out of the crank buisness so I assume you already have the crank. Is this on a iron block, and if so did you sonic test. I tested two iron blocks before finding the one that I went with, and even after the bore are offset for max wall thickness I will still be low 90's on two cylinders. Just a heads up though. That rear needs to be swapped. It will blow quick with that kind of torque unless you just use street tires.

You will make around 485 RWHP through the auto. If it was an MN6 and you had a little more cam and compression, 500 would be realistic.

My guess, with a cam in the mid 230's and under .600 lift, with 10.5 CR in an A4 is 465rwhp. I am sure you would be able to find a dyno somewhere that would give you 480rwhp though, especially if you lock the converter on the dyno.
