I think the trick flows and the cam plus it being an auto hurt the tq and lower rpm numbers shawn could chime in and say what he feels but these runs were made with out enough fuel as the pump was dying. Have not seen any new hard pulls after we changed out the pump. would like to see if those numbers are better or not. maybe next dyno day.

Ed you and Shawn both side stepped my speculation on what some more compression would've done for this motor provided a quality 93 octane is readily available? I was guessing 11.8 to 1 would have added another 12-15 rwhp/rwtq to some already pretty amazing numbers. Any thoughts?

Didn't have to dig to deep for this bone. I pm with Knapp once in awhile, and you guys did a killer job on his motor and tune !!! Just thought it deserved a little more time in the spotlight. Ron's thread on my car is over 7000 and counting so I thought this setup needed some attention since it was an a4.

the dyno numbers don't tell the whole story. This thing is a blast drive! I took a 2 1/2 hr trip with a fairly heavy foot in some areas and still averaged 23 mpg with not so heavy foot in others. LOL
Shawn build great motors and Ed can tune the crap out of them!
