swap that intake and you'll gain 15-20hp and port your tb if it isn't already.

Yeah...Patrick said that my cam should make peak power around 6300 and peak torque around 4800. I have the ford red top injectors which I thought would be fine for my application. What else would cause the power to fall off if the cam is installed right?

That's where I thought it should have peaked. I'm at a loss on this one as to why it peaks early. You should have plenty of injector, and your intake/exhaust setup doesn't seem like that would be the bottleneck. You may have to start a new thread in this section to see if you can get some of the more experienced guys to step in and take a look. Just make sure you put everything you can in the thread so you weed out all the pointless comments/questions.

I made 364rwhp/326lbtq in my A4 LS2... with a cam spec'd by FTI to make 400rwhp. I LOST 1/lbtq by adding Cam/Headers/3200 vig stall and only gained 30rwhp.

It was a 224/228 .610 .612 w/ 112+4lsa

Did you install a UDP with the Cam? Did you purchase a double roller adjustable timing chain and did the shop that did the install degree the cam in?

The shop that did my install didn't degree the cam in and the tune sucked.
I'm taking it to a new shop in the next few weeks and will share how much of a difference I gain

However the car only ended up putting down 354 hp to the wheels. Help me out guys, am I overreactingg and does that sound right or is there something wrong?

The cam is a custom spec from pat G and the specs are 231/235 with I believe a 600/601 lift or so. I had the springs an pushrods and all supporting stuff put in along with the cam and had it dyno tuned. Im also dissapointed in the fact that the car has only done a 12.4 witht he 4k stall,3.73 gear, panhard,sfc's,lowercontrol arms and eibach drag springs in the front. This was launching the car at 2k rpm and dead hooking on M/T dr's.

Sorry I know that part isnt part of internals but my main concern is why this doesnt seemt to be doing what it should! Help me out here guys, the person who now does my car and builds grudge cars says it could be the tune, me and him have discussed it and are thinking of switching out to the g5x4, having a different place dyno it and throw a 200 shot at it for next years racing season if noone has an idea whats wrong here! Thanks for any responses and sorry this is so long Im just really frustrated about the performance
