TQ seems pretty low. What are the specs on the cam? Those 3.73's are going to rob some too.

Not too bad considering the auto, stall, and fairly mild cam. Actually, you put down almost the same number I do with my mild H/C setup. I put down 400/367 with 224/228 cam and LS6 heads. Only difference is I'm running through a heavy M6 drivetrain versus your fairly normal auto drivetrain, so they're probably evening each other out.

With your auto and stall, assuming full weight, you should hit mid 11s at 116 or so no problem if you're hooking up.

my friend dynoed his car in san antonio and only made 410 and he has m6 with heads and cam (the cam is alittle bigger than the ms3).

Good numbers for auto. Numbers dont tell the story; run it at the track and check the MPH.

Those are great numbers. Remember, it's a stalled auto and the makes the numbers look low. It will severely outperform a T56 car that makes the same numbers

x3. She'll be a strong runner!

A few years ago, we had a stock bottom end H/C car that dyno'd 408rwhp through the heavy driveline it had....she ran a 10.5x@12X at sea level!

It will severely outperform a T56 car with the same numbers ET-wise, but not trap-speed-wise, and certainly not cruising on the highway, for example. Just a thought.

If you were talking about a 350rwhp auto beating a 400rwhp T56 car in the 1/4 mile you would be right in that the T56 would have higher trap mph, but when they make the same power at the wheels, that is not correct.

Lower HP autos can beat a higher hp T56 in the 1/4 and the T56 will be catching it because of greater HP at the wheels. But when they have the same RWHP, the T56 will not be gaining on the auto, that wouldn't make any sense since we are talking about rear wheel horsepower here.

The difference is not in the rwhp but in the gearing of the transmission. The T56 car stays in it's powerband better than an A4 car and if both had an identical graph from the same dyno, same weight, chances are the M6 car will be trapping a higher speed. Not necessarily a lot higher, but why do you think the new Corvettes, G8s, and high end European sports car have all gone A6 (or more) over the past few years? The fact is if you keep the car in it's powerband for a longer amount of time, it will be faster.
