You have an A4. Don't read too much into dyno #s. Look at your timeslips. 12.7 with a bolt-on, stock converter f-bod is very good. Especially considering your 60ft time. Cut that down and you'll be flying!!!(tires/converter)

Like will82 said, dont worry about your dyno numbers as much as your very good 1/4 time can speak for itself, especially having a lightly modded car. Think about the 1,XXX HP supras that run 10s-11s or whatever. I bet that you have great usable power on your dyno charts. Might as well post them up.

Your numbers are fine, god, all you have on the car is a lid and exhaust and you gained probably 40 horse, just like me, look at my sig.

When i had just the borla cb i ran a best of 13.19 and with the lid headers and TSP catted y i got 12.72 i think i can get 12.6 easy... or even better with decent tires.

Times are way more important. I wwould rather have low dyno #ers and faster times, just my opinion

Don't feel bad man! I got "shittie" numbers too; I only dynoed 10rwhp more than you with a cam!!! But I'm smokin people that run mid-low 12s at the track with me on the motor! Don't worry about the numbers, like everyone else said, you have an auto, it's not gonna be a dyno queen, your true numbers will shine at the track! If nothing else get the 60s down and use the low dyno numbers to your advantage...it works

dyno numbers are good for talkin to ricers and internet racer. track numbers are what counts. 12.7 is pretty damn good.

The numbers look pretty strong for an A4 with those mods.

Those are very good numbers. Your MPH is good too. Your torque is better than it reads, autos don't show correct tq output due to how the dyno/convertor are working with each other. Was this thru a stock convertor?
I only trapped 112 on my old setup back in early June. That setup put down 380 rwhp. Dyno numbers don't mean crap, trust me. My car did 348 unlocked cam only thru a 4400 convertor and went consistent 12.0s on nittos. Dynos are for 6 speeds, the track is for autos
Get yourself a 3500 convertor, and some mt et street radials, cut some 1.7x 60's and run some deep 12s!! You'll be hanging with most of the 6 speeders that are puttin down 400 rwhp haha

I have an A4 and with similar mods made 336rwhp and 351tq. I was disappointed as well but the car still flys. Thats still good number. Heads and cam are next for me.
