wow. an ms4 with ported heads through an m6 should be 450 + i had a 228 cam that did 436 with 57 cc heads. something is wrong with both of you guy's setups imo. good luck finding the lost power.

no, i gave up on this project a while ago. im pulling the motor, going to change the cam back to stock and put the stock valvetrain in it, new bearings and have it rebalanced and sell it. im going with a TSP 408 and a healthy shot of the sauce.

I was using a LINK G2 Plus ecu. Odd ecu for this motor. I'm also running through a 6 speed Audi transaxle but I don't think that will hide 60rwhp. Anyway, the car runs fine and makes tons of power since it is only 2100lbs but I woudl still like to find the extra hp. Not sure if it is the intake of not.

You should have had it retuned. I had my old camaro with ported 853s and a torquere v.3 street tuned by one place and then I had it dyno tuned some where else. The first run on the dyno it only made 353 and was way rich and not enough timming. After the tune was done it made 403 and 379 tq in an a4 and would run 11.40s

That setup should be at least 50+RWHP more. AT LEAST, and that is with a stock UDP, your MOSER 9", Steel FW and those headers and the LS6 manifold, etc..
