Trex cam = 377hp

470rwhp on a A4 (4400 stalled) is phenominal, I'm curious to see the curves on this one
Yeah .. Predator and I would like to go over that dyno sheet and see what we can come up with .. but Predator will be the one speaking on behalf of the group (ahem) 
What's up *****! Some how I KNEW those numbers from a Trex would stir some interest!

that has to be one of the peakiest TQ curves I think Ive seen. and it stops making power at 5800rpm? no way. something is def. wrong here. doesnt valve float show itself in a shaky HP line? are you sure you have the right preload on teh lifters? was the cam degreed in? if the trans was slipping that badly, it should set a code for input/output shaft speed being too different. as in a slipping component code. major vacuum leak? weak spark? low fuel pressure? just throwing some more ideas out there to consider to help track this problem down.
low HP reading on a dyno are one thing, but the power dropping off a cliff at 5800rpm tells another story IMHO.

something is deffently wrong. a trex pull strong up till about 6700 that one isnt pulling no where near 6k rather alone 6700 -7k
we have a 11.1 LQ9 Trex in the works so in hte near future we should have some type of numbers what a trex in a 6.0 should actually do
