why should i not be disappointed??
why should i not be disappointed?? i sent my new car in for dyno tuning yesterday and i have to say i am really not happy with the #'s i got but maybe i expect too much...
car is a '98 T/A A4
mods...
torquer v 2 cam 232/234 595/598 112 lsa
tci street fighter 3500 stall
160* stat
3.42 gear
hooker long tubes
hooker ory
magnaflow catback
#'s i put down 331.7 @ 6600 rpm
284.9 @ 5200 rpm
i was really expecting a higher horsepower & torque #. now the reason i expected more is that my 01 dynoed about the same torque # and the horse power was 295-298 thru an A4.
so am i just expecting too muchfrom a 98 or what??

This is my results with that cam from last weekend. I see you have a 98' too. I have talked to a few people having problems getting 98' model year LS1s to make big power with stock heads (I'm another one, so far)

Not horrible, but not great either now that you told us it was tuned on a Mustang Dyno. Just enjoy it and take care of it. It should last a long time considering the power level you are at.
no i don't know that and i forgot to ask the tuner. the car is going back in tomm to sort out some drivabilty issues so i will be sure to ask him. does this also make a significant difference?? i am not too well versed on the converter and trans stuff.
Wow, I was dissapointed with my numbers, and I have stock internals... you do have an A4, but if it doesn't feel stronger, maybe they did a shitty tune?
Thats what I was thinking with mine, but it feels alot stonger, although it might be the torque speaking... I don't think my graph was all that accurate...
I'd go back to them and complain, if it felt stronger it would be a different story.
