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.

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

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.
