Default How much power would I be leaving on the table??

I am at a cross roads. I am thinking about 1 of 2 setups:

- TR224 / AFR heads / lt's / dual exhaust / FAST 90/90

or

- TR224 / PRC 5.3 stg II / lt's / catted y / ls6 + ported stock tb

How much power am I leaving on the table through an a4 here, do you all think? It looks like close to a $2,000 difference.

I'm guessing the cost is not an issue?

cost is always an issue but it all depends how much of an issue. If it is only a 15rwhp difference, then i'm gonna shoot it away but if it is a 50rwhp difference, then i would look more seriously into it

you should go stage II heads/ lt's/ true duals/ 90/90, the AFR would be a max street effort and the prower difference is marginal when considered the price.


You dyno at about a 15%-20% loss, but your track times will be awesome. a lot better then me.

I pick option #2, except for the LS6 intake. LS1 works just fine and you already gots it.

If he takes your route he is leaving about 15rwhp on the table do to the ls1 intake alone.
