395 in³ 456 RWHP and 422 ft.lbs Torque
I still need some more tuning done. Driveability is not so good at the moment. It keeps dying on braking and deceleration on turns or stopping. I think there is some more power to be had. Definately won't be going to the track just yet.
I don't see many 395 strokers in here.

It actually idles without dying. It's a very choppy idle @ 950 rpm but it does stay running. When I said "deceleration" I guess I should have said when I slow down enough to make a turn at an intersection. I can turn on the A/C without it dying at idle as long as it is in neutral or park. Some of it I'm sure I will just have to deal with if I'm gonna have a big a$$ cam and a big a$$ converter.

We need to see the dyno graph and see whats going on to determine possibly the issue.

I think your car would definently benefit from a set of bigger injector's like at least 42lbers and a 17/8 set of headers with true duals and of course a tune from either AMS,RPM,SQR or LG motorsports! but I bet your car is and will be lot's of fun to drive around! 
I have a 98 tr224 A4 stock converter untuned with the same problem but it rarely does it like some days 2-3 times on the way and some days nothing ..... maybe a tune will fix it we`ll see

Your graph has the correction factor cut off, is it STD or SAE ??
Good numbers for an A4 but what is up with graph squiggles that look like a loop at 4500 rpms. How about a graph that shows the lower RPMS too if its available. You definately have some tuning issues. Fix them and you'll find more hp/tq. Good luck.

The graph was SAE. That is the only one I have and I don't know what that squiggly crap is. I took the car in to SQR today. Hopefully they can get it ironed out. I see good posts about them on here and plus they are close. Speedtek in Haltom City, Tx. did the work on the motor and the initial tuning. I think the motor is gonna run fantastic if I can just get it tuned right.

News from SQR on the tuning. Apparantly my car has no "wideband" on it, so it is taking a little longer to get it back. I've heard nothing but good things about these guys. The car was gone to Speedtek for several months and I finally got it back. Now it's gone again until mid next week to SQR. I can't wait to be finally able to drive it. I'm sure it will be worth it. I'll post up the final numbers as soon as I get it back. Also I guess the SLP MAFS is giving trouble so we're tuning Speed Density and getting rid of the MAFS.

I take my car there. I have the Black Formula with the Black TQ Thrust IIs on it. Daniel & Billy & Scott are all real good guys & shoot straight to the point & don't cut corners.
