Default Opinion on SS Dyno #`s

I dynoed the 98 SS A4 for the first time to see what I have before I start putting the bigger stuff on it and with airlid, headers, exhaust it made 325hp / 331tq I heard thats actually not bad for an A4 what do you think ?

What is the rough guess on % of hp lost through the drivetrain?

Those are good numbers for an auto, especially without a LS6 intake. It isnt tuned is it?

Who cares about estimated crank HP numbers, theyre all debatable, but I guess 380??

no tune , the guy said air / fuel was good it was about 13.5 and everything stayed almost identical to a T on every pull, plans are for the LS6 intake, pulley, just a LiL Ol' hot cam for now wanted to see what it did before i put it on hopefully it will be ok #`s after i get this stuff put on

Those are good #'s id guess with the intake, pulley, and cam you would be around 370+. Have you thought about getting a stall? For the HP loss people normally say between 15%-20% for us A-4's.

My experience with a lot of LS cars (vettes and f_bodys) is that the M6 has about 11.5% losses to the rear wheels and the A4 has about 14%.
