contact whoever is tuning your car and see what they recommend. you plan for spray to hit that 450rwhp cuz you wont hit it with the mods in your sig unless you add some heads.

The aftermarket mafs always seem to be more trouble than they are worth. Put that money towards the most important mod for an A4, a 3500+ stall converter and then heads or N2O.

No offense but that 450rwhp has yet to be duplicated on any other than TR setup. 420/430 is more like reality.
Also a Yank 4400 will make you loose more dyno power not make more. It does make your ET's quicker though.

As far as MAF goes, I have a GMAF and never had problems with it. If you're spraying wet, then don't bother. If you're spraying dry you could get the NOS calibrated GMAF.
However stock MAF with ported ends is good for 600 horses and much more flexible in tuning, works good with MAFT so you can tune and de-tune for before and after track.

aparently you missed the part where he has a rebuilt motor, 241 heads, and a 6sp. no one else has been able to duplicate 450rwhp.
