Default Dyno results after Kooks install.

MY CAR - 2001 SOM Z28, A4, 2.73 gears. First dyno run was with a K&N filter only. Made 291 HP and 328 TQ. Installed a set of Kooks 1 7/8 headers and Kooks true duals, also P&P throttle body and mass air and had a friend tune it with HP Tuners. Took her back to the dyno and made 342 HP and 365 TQ. Cant wait to take her to the track

nice numbers so for an A4, you'll make 400whp with a descent cam and retune on that dyno.

if you havent yet get a converter before even wasting time at a track.

Haven't got a converter yet, not sure what size stall to get, but i guess that also depends on what size cam I go with.

keep in mind that a converter will show less"dyno" numbers but it will def make up for it in track times ....nice numbers

right converter can be locked on the dyno IF you trust the clutch, there is no advantage to it except higher numbers though.

the stall should be based on your goal and purpose.

Torque numbers seem inflated due to the converter flashing most likely, but otherwise very good power numbers.
