I see that you drive an M6 car, so take a look at this list and educate yourself.

We don't need a list of other A4s we need a more detailed scenario.
I might add that I didn't offer to educate you or anyone else. I suggested that you educate yourself so you may want to work on reading comprehension while you're at it.
Further, my suggestion that he redyno would and will reveal any problems with his valvetrain and whether he is indeed down on power, whatever the reason may be.

I never to this day will understand why guys look at SAE dyno #s and take them as gospel as to what a car will run. He could have made his runs at 4000 DA for all anybody knows. 385 corrected to the tires on stock heads with a stall is decent.
