Free ram air: worth nothing on the dyno, questionable on the street.
MTI Clear lid: worth 10 hp
Tranny cooler: Zero
160 Thermo: Zero
SLP loudmouth: 15 hp

So you may be 25 hp over stock, that's a good start. Plus the tranny cooler and 160 thermo I think are excellent mods even though they don't make any power. Now it's time to get some long tubes and then a cam. Good luck and keep on modding!

One of the first thing anyone looking to mod there car should do, is get a baseline dyno and 1/4 mile time.
then they will know if anything they do helped or hurt.

330 seems a lil high for a intake and exhaust A4 car, even if its an 02, i'd safely say 315-320ish

330 is high for those mods especially through an auto car... with 6 speed cars there is approx 10-15% parasitic drivetrain loss in hp. and with an auto can be up to 25%. through my 02 M6 with an MTI CF lid and a SLP loudmouth i Dynoed 323tq/331tq. when my car stock dynoed 310/316. i estimate you will get aroun 315 maybe little more.

Since he has the tranny cooler already, his next 2 mods should be converter and drag radials. And yeah he's about where I'm at 310-320rwhp.

i would have to say you are probably making the same amount of power.... but the bigger throttle body can be hurting you as well.... more air in less air out since you dont have a cam or even headers..... the cylinders are only going to take in so much air before it seriously messes with your tune. however i think with the proper tuning you might be able to gain from it.

Where you spinning or hooking off the line? what kind of tires were you running? really i think the car is capable of more with what you have. it seems to me maybe a traction issue and maybe you need a stall converter Converter problem.

The time is based on traction, if you get a converter that time will drop but your mph will stay the same or maybe gain 1 mph from shift extention. Post up your MPH when you get home.
