Re: A4 H/C Dyno Results - TEA 1.5 5.3L/Hammer Cam
Thanks for the support guys. 
Yes, I'm sure the cats are robbing some hp, but I thought the B&B was supposed to be a pretty good flowing exhaust. Oh well, maybe it's not since it's pretty quiet.
In any event, so far I'm still happy with my choices, and as I said earlier, if I had it to do over, I'd choose this same setup again.

Personally, I'd just throw on a cutout and re-dyno the car. After that run it at the track. But as long as your happy with it, who the he!! cares what it puts down on a dynometer!? If it brings a smile to your face and runs well enough at the strip, your all set.
See my point...

Ed, with your bigger cam, I'm sure you'll do better than I did.
98TA, the ported tb and LS6 intake were done at the same time as heads/cam. I'll have to check with Mark to see if he still has the flow sheets on my heads. I totally forgot to ask about them. I think I still picked up a decent amt of power, but my biggest problem is the low numbers I started with. That's where I feel the missing numbers are...not from the heads or cam setup.

But I am very unhappy.

Re: A4 H/C Dyno Results - TEA 1.5 5.3L/Hammer Cam If your not worried about smog and sound then take the cats off and do a cutout. I notice people with no cats and cut out or LM have some high numbers well atleast thats what worked for me (Mac's ORP and LM)
