Dyno Results...Low?
Dyno Results...Low? Fellas I had my A4 dynoed today. Baseline was 275.6 and 295.7. My tuner said I was running extremely lean when I came in. After the 4th pull and adding more fuel I ended up with 309.7 hp and 317.8 tq. Mods are listed belwo in sig. For a bolt on A4 with longtubes, are these numbers low? Basline and After tune?
well, although i am beginning to doubt my grasp on what works on a ls engine. you are running a ls1 intake right? which might show slightly lower numbers than a ls6 equipped car, and auto's suck up a few more ponies. it might be a little low, but how does it feel? i have a thread about how disappointing my numbers came back, but my car feels like exactly what it dynoed. and another thing everyone is telling me is, take it to the track and see what it runs, that will also give you a indication of whether your car is performing like it should.
...... The car feels strong as hell, pulls hard and chirps 3rd gear. The intake is the stock ls1 and I don't have the an udp. I have a set of 243's but want to get them ported along with a ls6 camshaft. My tuner suggested a custom grind with 226/228 with about a 114 lsa, along with a 3200-3400 stall converter. Any thoughts?
Those numbers don't seem bad especially when you consider your losing prolly bout 15% through that a4. With that I calculate your doing bout 355 at the fly. I think a lot of people are disappointed in their dyno numbers cause the bolt manufacturers often give inflated gains and are usually at the fly and not the rear. Cam and intake prolly get you to the bout the 350 mark.

You could probably get 8 RWHP just from the LS6 intake. Add an UDP and you're probably 10-15 RWHP between the two mods. As for the temperature during the dyno session that's taken into account in the dyno's correction factor unless they gave you uncorrected numbers which isn't the norm. If you dyno in 40 deg weather and look at the uncorrected numbers vs those in 90 deg weather you would see a big difference.

As long as you see a measurable increase on the same dyno when modding that's all that matters as dyno's go.
Take her to that track for real numbers!
BTW, A4 drive-train loss is more like 18%.
A4's are NOT dyno queens, especially with high stall verters!
Mine made 391 but ran good at the track, so I was pleased.

I give a **** Lemons, dude your comments were totally uncalled for and worthless. I give a **** that was my reason for asking. I'm trying to guage what my money has bought and compare to fellow f body owners. If I had a qtr mile track to go to then I would have done so by now. You hate seeing these threads and I hate random bullshit comments, If you don't have anything pertaining to the thread, click out and read another one.

I think my comment was very worthy of posting. Dyno numbers mean NOTHING.
