Re: A4 H/C Dyno Results - Absolute 5.3L Stage 2 / TR 224 Well, I still plan on tuning it myself. I am waiting till after I get headers before tuning it.
I have decided on getting LT's. Just have to find the right combo that will fit my car. If I can't I will get the Macs. I know they fit a lowered A4 Vert. Screw the Smog *****.
The heads flowed 298 @ 563
Could my cats be clogged?? Thanks for all the input.

Re: A4 H/C Dyno Results - Absolute 5.3L Stage 2 / TR 224 It looks like somthing is very wrong since you didnt get that much for nos and the graph flat lines and drops along the way, ussually if it picks up alot with nos it would indicate an intake restriction, if it does not pick up alot it indicates a problem on the ex side, lt's with no cats will get you more than 25 hp especially if the cats sre clogged also dont rule out the muffler being restrictive either, what cat back do you have on there

Re: A4 H/C Dyno Results - Absolute 5.3L Stage 2 / TR 224 N20 run was a bit low because I had alot of Knock Retard. Run was lean.

Re: A4 H/C Dyno Results - Absolute 5.3L Stage 2 / TR 224 Well, Headers are on order. Hopefully this will get me close to 400 rwhp. Otherwise I just spent alot of $$$ for nothing.

Think of how many times you have dynoed so far. Take all that, and minus 1 session, and the rest woulda been gravy. Peace :p

Ed, the one thing that caught my eye was how low your peak torque was. With that cam, it should be around 3800/4200 and would indicate an exhaust restriction.
Now that the headers are on, play with the tune and get some new track and dyno numbers.

I dynoed after every mod to see the gains. They weren't dyno tunes.
Now it is time to tune. I am running pretty rich.
