I agree and wil allow you maybe anoter 10 RWHP, you really dont have an major power adding mods to your engine, plus you need to factor in the mileage and its 13 years old. Thr flowmaster is not highly thought of for f-bodies. The air foil maybe a point or two and the K&N 10RWHP tops, the rest nadda.

Still in the low 14's unless you are a very good driver.

im sure im sure, everybody knows something this/somebody that, but a stock brand new lt1 m6 puts down 220rwhp, thats what i based it off of. plus a little hp for your mods, -a few for a4, -a few for 93 model, i gave you an educated guess based on my experience.

Well TB Bypass = 6-9HP (not sure if FW or RW), the Airfoil is about 4-5, as noted the CAI is around 10, and while the Flowie may not be first pic among people, I'd say over stock exhaust + cat you'll get 15~. Who knows how much Royal Purple acctually helps in real-world applications. So I'd give you at least 20-25rwhp. You'll notice more by getting an adjustable fuel pressure reg and some 24# Ford Blue Top (SVO) Injectors. I just installed my injectors and WEE!! And you can get a chip tune too. Once mine gets looked over and given the OK, I can send you my file, or have someone burn you one. Mines AIR and EGR delete, so if you have to pass emission's I could turn those back on.

+1

275 fwhp - 12% dt loss= 242RWHP for M6

275fwhp - 18% dt loss= 225 RWHP A4.

I know a girl who owns a 97 A4 and BONE STOCK put down 280. I know you wont believe me but she's an active member on z28.com. With Lt's,catback,cai, and 1.6 rr's she put down 330ish through a stall.

She ran 12.8's at 110-112 on street tires.

They are few and fat between but there are the freaks.

I do believe there are freaks out there. A buddy of mine has a 94 with a K&N FIPK and a flowmaster muffler thats keeps up with me. It kind of pisses me off!

Thats real cute... all the formula's and what not to get a dyno number... I like that.

Most M6's put down over 260rwhp easy...A4's around 240rwhp+. An SS LT1 M6 (305hp) has been known to lay down 280.

That's why the 93 A4s are faster! They're 700R4s! The 91-92 TPI motors were 205-209rwhp where they made 235fwhp. So mine should, stock, have made around 250~

No... there not... 93 LT1's are the slowest of the 93-97 run.
They have 4L60 Tranny's, and older tuning. (In stock form of course)
