Default Futral FM-4, bolt ons A4

Since I installed the cam, this is the second time on the Dyno. The first time I found out the transmission was failing AGAIN. Keith was working on the tune. The tune did not get fine tuned due to the transmission issues.
Well today I went to Redline's new Shop in Festus, MO.
So still without a finished tune and the Futural FM-4 (226/226 .575/.575 114+4)

374 HP
356 TQ

I was happy. I expected mid 350- low 360's.

Are the 98 heads that bad? I just thought the only difference was the perimeter valve covers and individually mounted coil packs.

port your throttle body man, im in a smilar setup and my buddy talked me into letting him port and polish my stock 78. it turned out really rough, but it made a huge difference in response. i didnt have a dyno to before and after it, but trust me, let more than 78mm worth of air get to that cam and youll be impressed

No sir. I REFUSE to lock my converter. I have had way too many transmission issues to risk locking the converter for a few HP on the Dyno.

I am not sure what is up with the dip in the graph. I still need to get a final tune. It just has a rough tune in it now. I had it on the dyno last year to dial it in and found out 3rd gear was slipping. It sat over the winter and I had the transmission rebuilt. This is the first time on the dyno since then.

The times in my sig are from this past Friday night.I have a clip but it was before it was tuned. I just got my daughter to bed or I would go out and get a quick clip of it.

I have the same converter. Very efficient, you'd prolly only gain 10rw anyway.

I have been told the Taylor wires on my car can cause the screwy looking graph.
