Now before you say, yeah no problem...here's my scenario. My car is a 98Z, A4 with cats (keeping them on). It took me all the bolt ons plus long tubes and tuning just to get to 300rwhp. I'm thinking a mild heads/cam setup is good for 50-60 more rwhp in an A4. Here is a list of what I'm thinking about doing...

TEA Stage 1.5 5.3L Heads
TEA Ported Throttle Body
Hammer Cam
LS6 Intake
Upgraded Timing Chain
Upgraded Pushrods
Tuning

Am I missing anything else? I was thinking about going with the B1 cam, but I've decided to be a little more aggresive and try the Hammer cam.

Thanks.

dude, some ppl are pushing 380RW on just a cam. so that CR plus a cm would be closer to the mystical 400 HP mark...

pascal

now in the real world of real rwhp just what does it take to get 425hp to the rubber??

I firmly believe that you will see a little over 400 RWHP with the hammer cam and those heads <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I'd doubt it very much that you will see more than 380 with that setup..in an auto. I have 5.3's stg 2 TEA (awesome) and a TR224 cam (awesome) and get 367hp 386tq..
It is dialed in also..But The car has real low miles..850 total..But even with another 15-20hp after more miles still will get you 385 ish..which is realistic and real good..with absolutely no tricks or dyno bull..

That's a realistic number with those mods. I have a A4 with bolt-ons including MAC's(no cats), a Yank Y3200 and recently dyno 348 rwhp with the 02 LS6 cam/intake and home ported heads.

Gary98Z, I made 385rwhp with ported heads with stock valves and a TR224 cam-- and the usual boltons "headers". I've gone thru three cam swaps. The first was the hammer cam on a 112. It pulled good in the high rpms but was real sluggist around 3grand. The iddle was pretty bad, yes I had tuning, and it did die some times. Next was a TR220 on a 114. The 220 idled like stock but pulled awesome. I needed a little more, so I went to a TR224 on a 114. This cam has a little cam surge, but tollerable. This cam is just about perfect for a A4 for street/strip duty. In cold weather about 40* @ hallsville on Jan 18 I ran 11.30 @120 mph.I suggest a Thunder racing cam with those heads

360 rwhp will be a peice of cake with that setup and a little tuning. Most full bolt on A4's make around 325-330 rwhp as it is, you will EASILY eclipse 360. Good luck

Check my sig.... Not an A4 but it should give you some idea of what to expect.

Gary98Z,
Have you thought about getting a MAF? I didn't see that in your sig, yet you said you did all of the bolt ons. That was the first thing I did and I dynoed 318rwhp/ 326trq with a ported MAF, whisper lid and K&N filter. I don't know if my car being a 6 speed helps that much, but I would definitely do a MAF.

I've seen 399rwhp through a A4 with bolt ons,macs with orp, a very small comp 212/218 .527/.529 cam and a set of my home ported stock valved heads. That was with the vig3200 locked.

All bolt-ons, Macs w/ CarSound cats, AAP Stage II 5.3L heads, 222/224 114 cam I'm making 410rwhp/415rwtq. Working on getting a decent tire setup to get some track times, I'm wondering what a 4000lb car will run with that kind of power if I can hook. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

We'll see pretty soon !

I made 360rwhp and 400rwtq on the hammer cam and had my heads messed with a little(exhaust ported some and 5 angle) with a A4 SY4000 unlocked, 17x11 Fikse wheels.

At first I was kind of disapointed on the hp then realized I dont have stage 2 heads or anything like that. But man does it run good, love the setup.

Thanks for the input guys. Hopefully I'll break the mark, but again, I'm starting out with low hp to begin with. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

i would hope you could hit 360....

i just hit 373rwhp with my A4, with longtubes, lid, and the small B1 cam!

you'll be surprised how much that cam opens the car up
