My LS6 Intake Dyno Gains With mods in sig., I pulled a best of 328.4rwhp and 361.9rwtq which we thought was pretty low for my mods.
After I got the LS6 intake installed and replaced the plugs, I pulled a best of 355.1rwhp and 395.7rwtq.
The only change was the new LS6 intake and new plugs. Everything else was the same for both pulls. Both days were very humid, but the second day was slightly cooler.
I'm not sure I gained 27hp & 34tq from the intake alone, but at least my numbers are getting better. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: My LS6 Intake Dyno Gains Hmmm if you those numbers are the average gain (with mods) then I might have to reconsider getting one to go along with the TR224 cam I have waiting to be installed.

Re: My LS6 Intake Dyno Gains Thats definately not a typical gain. Regardless of wether some obstruction in the stock intake or fouling of your old plugs was causing a power loss, its gone now and I bet you are happy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: My LS6 Intake Dyno Gains Much happier now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Although, it seems my numbers are low for my mods? Even though I have an A4 with a decent-sized stall, the numbers I see on this board seem higher?
Also, I've heard an 18% drivetrain loss for A4's with stalls to figure fly wheel hp.
Would that be hp/.82 -or- hp*1.18?
Thanks.

Re: My LS6 Intake Dyno Gains Wholly sh*t!!! That's insane for a bolt on car (as yours appears to be). Which dyno did you go to? I need to go there myself. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> With my H/C I should get 50 at the rear wheels. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: My LS6 Intake Dyno Gains Here's my dyno sheet..
The green lines are after the cam install. This is the first time my car has been on the dyno.
The red lines are after the LS6 intake install and new plugs with cutout closed.
The blue lines are with the cutout open.

We thought my numbers after the cam install were low. I had all sorts of trouble with a flashing SES, and I think I had a fouled plug too. That's why I said we're pretty sure that I didn't gain that much from the intake alone. My numbers after the cam install probably should have been higher, we just had a hard time dialing it in.
Can't give you an answer on the high torque numbers? I can feel it though. <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

Re: My LS6 Intake Dyno Gains I wish Tom could work magic like that on my clutch. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Last time I didn't have time to do it myself I had him do it, however something still is a miss with it.

Re: My LS6 Intake Dyno Gains Honestly, on the SOTP meter, I can feel the gains from the intake much more than I could from the cam???
Overall, don't my hp numbers seem low? I know the tq is good.
I've done most of the basic bolt ons except a pulley. The only NA mod left to do are heads as far as I can see.
Even though I have an A4 with a fairly loose convertor, it seems that the numbers I see on this board mod for mod are higher than mine?
Oh well... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
