Just Dyno'ed Should i be disappointed???
Stock 99 C5 A4
50,804 miles
89*
24% Humidity
SAE: 0.98
It looked like it was doing damn good until the tech said it hit some sort of "spark detonation" (?) He said he stopped the run early, as soon as the drop happened. He doesnt know why the computer kept going but thats why the A/F is crazy at 5100-5400. The guys at the shop said it could be the computer advancing the timing too far or a bad batch of gas.
I was kinda disappointed with 288/292 until i realized it wasn't even testing at the peak rpm range.
Can anyone tell me what is going on here?
What is the problem?
What should I expect when i fix the problem?
Is this as good of a base as everone is saying?
Maybe i was just mad that i didnt see a 3 at the begining...

you may have carbon build-up causing detonation. when your knock sensors detected the ping, they should have retarded timing, and i bet they would have if you had finished the pull. you should run some sea foam or take your car to a shop and get a carbon treatment done. after that, re-dyno and see how it does.

That is KR pulling timing. You can see the differnce in the line-angle climb rate before and after the knock...
MANY A4 C5 owners pull 280-290 (sae) factory. I am a little surprised you got KR at an AFR of 12...
BTW those wheels look bad-azz on a C5... where did you get them???

The wheels were on the car when i bought it. I dont know if the old guy who had it in FL before me put them on or if the dealership did. A lot of people are saying the C6s look good on my car. Too bad i cant say the same for the red camaro i saw with them 3 days ago...

Check your a/f ratio. the graph looks like you are 12 to 1. You could definately lean out to 12.8 or 12.9 to 1 while strapped on the dyno. You will lean a little bit more when you have fresh air moving while driving on the street.

as you can sorta see I get that little dip around 5700 rpms. I dunno if its the same deal with your setup but after getting my cam installed and tuned it went away. The valve float came on my stock setup.
