Alright, I'm looking to get some chrome decals of my hp rating for my hood, the thing is, I dont want to over-estimate my hp rating and look ricey, but I dont want to under-rate it either, so, with the mods in the sig, where should i be at the crank?

have you dyno'd the car? Kinda can go off of that too.

I'd guess 410 flywheel - on the big side of things...

I'd probably say 390 or so...

I'm pretty close to you mods and I dynoed 390 at the wheels. I've considered doing that too but I want to be able to have proof in the car, ie: dyno results. So, I would suggest to dyno the car and use those #'s. You should do it in cold weather too. You'll get better numbers in cold weather.

Yea... i was kinda wondering bout that 390hp dyno myself.

N/a i dynoed 290. but i had everything off my car except gears and stall.

i think at best 330 to the wheels, 375 at the crank, dont forget your an A4 so u lose more than a M6

Thats his 1000foot time.
Adamp, id say your around 410+ at the crank since you have duals to my LM. :)
My dyno#'s in sig are with stock wheels and stall. Track #'s with 17's

well lets say 20% drivetrain loss
410fwhp x 0.20 = 82
410-82 = 328.

Thats on the small side of average on a a4 with some boltons. I tend to guess a little low sometimes... I'd rather be lower than bullshitting...
