2001 Black WS6 A4
P&P TB

It put down 331 rwhp and 349rwtq, 11.7 AFR

These numbers seem kinda low to me... What do you guys think?
Also whats a good cam for stock heads!?

as stated, get the AFR right.

a good cam choice IMO for a stock headed LS1 is anything in the 228 to 230 range with 590 or so lift on a 114.

that should get you in the 390 to 400 rwhp range with a good tune.

There's nothing wrong with your numbers. You have an auto tranny and they aren't "dyno queens".

What kinds gains would I see if I leaned it out a little?? Oh and as far as cams go I want something that will sound like stock but will still let me have good gains.. I dont have the money for heads but I want 400RWHP N/A.

Sounds about right, I have the same mods as you plus a cutout and I put down 332hp untuned...that's not bad considering most full bolt on A4 F-bodies dyno 340-350hp

I think your numbers seem fine to me considering the a/f & all.

Put a cam & verter behind that car!!

+1 Don't look at the dyno numbers as how fast you'll be at the track. I used to beat myself up about dyno numbers. Great number BTW

11.8:1 is commanded stock and they usally run leaner than commanded 2 tenths at least. your numbers look good for that AFR.
i think you have a 15 to 18 rwhp increase with a good tune.
