Diolar Magnum

Hey guys,

I have been with this site for a couple of months or so, reading up on lots of good material and the like. so I went to the dyno in my buddy's garage today and I was really surprised by my car. Am looking for opinions, cause my numbers dont make sense to me based on what I've read on here. anyway here they are. sorry I dont have scanner for the actual readout.

car: 1998 z28 A4

rwhp: 331
rwtq: 368

but all I have on the car is

magnaflow catback
mti lid
high flow filter
FRA

any ideas? Am going back over later so I will let you all know the name of the dyno he's got.

Those numbers do seem way too high...especially for an a4 with minimal mods.

yeah, when i dynoed the first time all i had was an ls6 cam and an airlid with hooker catback and i only made 330 rwhp and 335 tq. those numbers seem a little high especially for an a4.

SAE or STD, locked or unlocked, and what gear was it dyno'd in?

Diolar Magnum

hey again guys sorry didnt get back earlier, am in the midst of finals.

jrp: SAE horsepower and in 3rd from about 3200rpm (eliminate downshift?)


what is locked vs. unlocked? I forgot to ask Tom. sorry am still kinda new

oh and it was a dynojet. i remember earlier someone saying something about a dyno that was always off. some mustang dyno? or mach something? I forget. anyway its weird though. cause my g/f's 94 25th T/A A4 is modded to about 300RWHP give or take 5, and when we race my car DESTROYS her. i mean DESTROYS. its bizarre and she gets mad at me so we dont do it too often

anyway that's where I'm at. I am the fourth owner of the car, so I was thinking maybe the rear had been changed? but the whole thing looks stock, and I was told that everything was stock when I got it. But would a rear ffect the dyno? I dunno. anyway I got two more papers to write. will be back later

The rear would not give you horsepower. The dyno is probably just reading a little high or there are mods on the car you don't know about. Maybe a previous owner stuck an LS6 cam in there and didn't tell anyone.

Diolar Magnum

ws-sick: yeah an ls6 cam that would be nice but I doubt it. when I got her, everything looked stock. stock exhaust, stock intake, etc etc etc. And I figure if the rear had been changed the plate on the back would be different, not jsut the factory looking rusty one. or maybe not? maybe jsut naive? again, I am still figuring all this out.

I guess the numbers are just wrong. gonna get a second opinion in two weekends after wintr break starts. I was just surprised cause my g/f's TA waas dynod there and at this other place down the way, and both her readings looked the same, give or take 5 horses I think. and her torque numbers were right on too. who knows???? lol

anyways thanks for your posts

Another thing you can do is taking the car to the track, with those # it should be running mid 12's, I think.

Maybe you got a freak!

When mine had the exact same mods it dynoed at 310rwhp and it is a 2000 A4.

Yeah. My 2000 A4 WS6 stock dynoed 292hp/298tq. With an SLP lid, Flowmaster catback, and no filter it dynoed 315hp/318tq.

My 2001 T/A dynoed 301hp, 338tq with a lid, SLP y-pipe, hollow cats, and a stock exhaust. It did have a PY3600 conveter though which I dynoed unlocked.
