HP rating for my car? Alright, I'm looking to get some chrome decals of my hp rating for my hood, the thing is, I dont want to over-estimate my hp rating and look ricey, but I dont want to under-rate it either, so, with the mods in the sig, where should i be at the crank?
I'm pretty close to you mods and I dynoed 390 at the wheels. I've considered doing that too but I want to be able to have proof in the car, ie: dyno results. So, I would suggest to dyno the car and use those #'s. You should do it in cold weather too. You'll get better numbers in cold weather.

Adamp, id say your around 410+ at the crank since you have duals to my LM.
My dyno#'s in sig are with stock wheels and stall. Track #'s with 17's

well lets say 20% drivetrain loss
410fwhp x 0.20 = 82
410-82 = 328.
Thats on the small side of average on a a4 with some boltons. I tend to guess a little low sometimes... I'd rather be lower than bullshitting...
