Default How Much Power Increase with these Mods?

My C5 is under "the knife" at Speed Demon, and was wondering what kind of #'s I can expect from these mods:

TR/CNC Stage 1 head with extra porting (looks like stage 2)
TR 227/224 114 LSA Cam
Underdrive pully, SY3500, 3.42 gears, rebuilt/beefier transmission with TransGo and B&M tranny cooler, and FLP headers.

Already have Corsa Daytona and Donaldson Blackwing installed.

My car is an A4, and previous dyno (with exhaust and intake) was 290rwhp <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />


Any idea's how close to the magical "400" I may come with this package??

I think you will come very close to 400RWHP. The only thing that might keep you from seeing it is the fact that you have a C5 and an A4. F-body guys with those mods and an M6 usually dyno a tad over 400RWHP.

My spring heads/cam swap looks very similar to yours. I am planning on Absolute Speed Stage 1X heads with that exact same cam. I already have Hooker LTs!

Let us know what your results are!

Wow I am doing darn near the exact same setup as you. Stage 2 heads, 222/222 561/561 114 Comp Cams Xtreme grind cam, (stall and gears TBD) LS6 intake, ported TB, TPIS Headers, OR Pipes, Vararam and Corsa Indy pro series with Corsa X pipe. I am hopeing for around 400 too but us C5 guys with the A4 lose alot in the drive train. I can dream though
