I have no baseline for the gain. However with TSP lid, ASP Pulley, LS6 Intake, Jet-Hot LT's, True Duals, and a stock driveline; I made 381 rwhp at 5950/ 373 rwtq at 5000 untuned.

well I gained 32rwhp un-tuned(it still is) but that was with a LS1 intake, no pulley, no ported TB, and no LS6 intake, I also have a 12 bolt and that robs a little, but I put down 370rwhp and 368 rwtq, now I have a ported TB and getting an LS6 intake on next week, so with that stuff and a pulley and tune I expect 410rwhp, thats 20rwhp from TB, and intake, and 20rwhp from pulley and tune, and I will be dynoing on the 10th of July and we'll see the gains from the intake and TB!

Any issues with idle/hot start problems without the tune?

You will experience occasional dying and surge untuned. I strongly suggest long tube headers and tuning. All I have is this cam tuned with headers and an ftra airlid and I am trapping 115mph.

Will a ported throttle body with the blade drilled out help with this? thanks

To an extent, it will help, but then again, you will also lose lope.

Good luck man. I doubt you will see 410 out of it. But I'll say a prayer for ya Either way that is some good numbers from that hotcam.

looks like everyone but me has a manual trans. Can this cam be ran with the a4 and stock converter? I don't plan to drag race the car but I would love the extra power.[B]

Nah I got an a4 but not the hotcam. Man you should look into a torque converter. It is the best mod you can do for an a4. TCI SSF3500 would be an excellent choice for you.
