Default Going to the dyno with new motor, where should I be?

Well after building all winter I've finally got the new motor in the car and am heading off to the dyno next week with the mods in sig. Just wondering if you guys could give me some shots on where I should stand. Just want to make sure everything is running right. Thanks.

Honestly just throwing a number out there, I'd guess 430rwhp.

I'd be happy with that. I know I really won't throw up great numbers on the dyno being an A4. I'd just like to use my dyno numbers to make sure the engine is running the way it should be.

I agree. That cam should make big power up top and carry well to 7000+ with those heads.

Cool guys thanks. Like I said, I'm not too concerned about making big numbers, I just want to know that the motor is making the power that it should.

I'm gonna get your hopes up and say 440+/- a few with that combo, just cuz I'm an optimist.

I'll say that you'll be right up there with me on my N/A tune. 450ish. I lost about 15-20hp by doing the nitrous tune. But it's still rich and needs more bugs worked out.
