Default A4, Lid and catback dyno numbers

Big thanks to Frost.

We dynoed the Z/28 today in 90 degree weather and it was humid. Not the best conditions but screw it right? The car is a 98 LS1 Auto with a lid and catback(cutout closed).

Frost made some adjustments and got me to 300 rwhp and 308 rwtq.

With LT headers & ORY you are looking at around 325rwhp and 320rwtq on a Dynojet.

Yeah, but also going to need to add a stall one day too to make the car more fun at the track once I get it dialed in right and the suspension where I want it. Trying to explain this to the wifey is a b!tch

Nice, I just had my 98 auto dynoed today too. 305/330 but I have headers and ory. Pretty sure a 4400 stall is hurting the numbers.

Anyway, get a stall and headers on it. Wont be a dyno queen but it will be pretty quick.

Nice man! Gives me an idea of what i can expect once i swap out this shitty flowmaster catback and get a lid on. Might go bullets, not sure yet, would really just like a louder, better flowing catback.
