'02 A4 Z28 w/PTB dynoes@298...after SLP lid, dynoes@303...after SSRA2, dynoes@318!
I have a 2002 Z28 with the A4 and around 54,500 miles. The actual baseline dyno is in my sig and was performed at TT Performance in December 2004 using their dyno jet. The following is a summary of the dyno runs that were performed on 11/11/06 at Harris Speed Works using their dyno jet. All 9 runs were made within an hour. All 9 runs were made on the same dyno. The weather condition is on the linked dyno graphs. This was an open hood dyno with a fan blowing air towards the radiator area from an angle beneath the car.
With Thunder Racing's Ported Throttle Body:
Run #1: 295.2 Max HP, 346.4 ft-lbs, 12.9 a/f
Run #2: 296.8 Max HP, 341.9 ft-lbs, 12.9 a/f
Run #3: 297.7 Max HP, 345.9 ft-lbs, 13.1 a/f
With Thunder Racing's Ported Throttle Body & The SLP Lid:
Run #4: 300.6 Max HP, 352.7 ft-lbs, 14.0 a/f
Run #5: 300.8 Max HP, 352.2 ft-lbs, 14.0 a/f
Run #6: 303.3 Max HP, 353.0 ft-lbs, 14.0 a/f
With Thunder Racing's Ported Throttle Body, The SLP Lid & Al Austin's SSRA2:
Run #7: 317.8 Max HP, 358.5 ft-lbs, 14.1 a/f
Run #8: 316.8 Max HP, 356.5 ft-lbs, 14.0 a/f
Run #9: 315.9 Max HP, 360.4 ft-lbs, 14.0 a/f
I can't wait to take this car to the dragstrip. I think I can get at least a 110 MPH trap speed in really good weather.

not to burst your bubble or anything, but comparing numbers from two different dynos doesn't really do you any good. Each and every dyno is different. A magazine once tested around 10 dynos with the same car in similar weather and there was a 70 hp difference between the lowest and highest numbers.

Yea, 14:1 is pretty lean, thats how the MAF gets you the power, once you richen it up you'll lose some. Great numbers regardless though. You may not trap 110 though, ALMOST trapped 112 and I'm making 400 RWHP. However, it was my first time out, but I doubt my MPH will be affected much, just take her out and see, if your not satisfied add some more stuff!! Good luck.

Happy with my SSRA as well. They advertise a gain of 13rwhp at a simulated 50mph and obviously your car likes the SSRA Did you have a very high powerful fan under it?
