I've gained anywhere from 15-20 HP. My TBSS actually gained 25, but it's not really just the HP gains that helps so much, at least with the A4s anyway. Adjusting the shift pressure, lowering torque Management, shift points, etc, are worth tons. A half second gain on the big end from a good tune is about average as long as the driver does their part. 1/8th mile gains should reflect 2-3 tenths. As for traps, every car is different, but I personally gained 3-4 mph. Of course DA, supporting mods, gearing, etc will factor into all this.

thats what i wanted to know/hear... good deal.. if i can get close to 89mph without touching anything that would be AMAZING! and do it with the LS1 intake too! then break 90mph and 7's with LS6 intake

I have no doubts you will get close with just a tune. Needs to be a good dyno or street tune though, not a canned one. The LS6 intake would definitely put you where you want to be, in the 7s.

You planning on LTs at some point?

Just don't be raising a bunch of hell and you'll be fine. I have full cat-less exhaust, and it really isn't that loud unless I go WOT. With just the SLP LM2, it was actually pretty subtle imo. All that is subjective though, lol

ohh im not UNfamiliar with how they sound or how loud they are... its just i got a public nuisance violation warning just for STARTING and workin on my ZX-11 kawasaki with a gutted Muzzy exhaust.. I got a BITCH neighbor! and its always fun to get it for the kids every now and again lol.. IM not in it for sound just sheer horsepower! ill do LTs and cutout before a catback for sure. but i really want to just do a truck manifold kit with a BW s475 on the cheap

Just go LTs and keep the stock catback... sounds pretty good and won't **** the neighbors off. Gets loud WOT but normal driving is stupid quiet.

Awesome times Stone! Get those 11s!!!!!

Thanks Skater, the second the weather breaks and cools off, I'm going to try like hell to make that 11.9999 happen!


Moge, I've got a couple good vids of it running 12.4s. I've got the 12.2 run as well, its an in-car vid shot with my cell phone. The angle is awesome, but its way out of focus after uploading for some reason. Search Steppnstone629 on youtube and it should pull up my vids. I'll post a couple up when I get home from work later.
