98 LS1 = Dyno pig? Is it true??
98 LS1 = Dyno pig? Is it true?? Im looking at a 98 Formula A4. Only mods are an SLP Lid and Flowmaster Cat Back. I know that the Flowmaster is garbage but, what do you guys think one of these shall dyno w/ the mods? Its an A4 w/ 3.23 gears and it has 120k miles. Any help/opinions would be great.

What he said. With full boltons +062 VHP cam(210/218 @.551 on a 112 I only made about 330. We later changed out the cam to a TSP torquer V2 and it put down 350 rwhp. I recently add the TSP stage1 LS6 heads w/stock valves and we squeezed out 396RWHP.Which might not seem alot but the bitch ran a
60ft-----1.6751
1/8ET---7.6726
1/8mph--89.80
1/4et----12.0153
1/4mph--114.21
I wouldn't worry about what some dyno said. I would guage my performance on what kind of track time improvement/mph my car did on before/after you mod it.
thanks for the responses guys, Im looking at buying the car to replace my 99 Z28. Yeah that flowmaster is getting yanked for sure. Im gonna fab it to fit on my 90 F-bird.

This gives me hope!!!, Im looking at the car this morning. The owner has installed an SLP Lid and the 2 bad things are a Flowmaster Exhaust and SLP MAF sensor. He should have the stock parts too so Im throwing the stock MAF back on.
My 01 SS M6 with lid and cat-back put down 338hp/350tq and was somewhere in the 80,000 mile range, i didn't think that was to bad, oh and it does have an LS6 Block
With same mods plus longtubes and ported TB it did 352hp/365tq
