Just some info incase anyone does the same thing as me.

I recently did a full cat back exhaust, headers, air lid and Dyno Tune. My HP to the weels is 304 and 325 tq.

Does this sound about right?

Can you give more info about your car? More info about your new mods? With either tranny, sounds low to me!

1. A4 or M6?
2. Altitude?
3. Temperature when dynoed?
4. Any other modifications? What exhaust setup did you go with (like brands)?

it does seem a little low but i am guessing you have an A4.

It is a 2000 A4 and I am located in NC so the altitude is low. I guess the temp was around 70 degrees. The exhaust is Hooker.

The car does have 80k miles on it. I guess I was expecting around 330 to the wheels. Whats odd is that it feels so much faster then 304 to the wheels...espeically at high speeds.

How much power do you think the ls6 intake added?

Sounds about right for an accurate dyno. You have to think that you don't have an LS6 intake, you still have CATS, and really only have a exhaust and lid in an A4. An LS6 intake is worth about 10RWHP as you are, LT's and ORY are worth maybe 20.

hey man, if you get a SOTP difference then i wouldnt worry about it. dynos are great for tuning but dont always give an accurate HP number.

I wouldn't worry about the dyno numbers too much! A4's aren't dyno queens, just as long as it feels faster you should be happy. Also track times are a great way to show horsepower improvement.

ya those is fine numbers for an auto. People tend to brag when they get high numbers with whatever mods they have some use uncorrected numbers which will be higher also. i have 94k on mine and i am going to be doing new plugs, wires and o2 sensors you should keep those in mind as your miles start getting higher.

The numbers sound about right for an A4. Perhaps the numbers were on a Mustang dyno....they typically yield lower numbers.

At the end of the day, the seat of the pants difference makes it all worthwhile!
