Default Rapid Head and Cam Package in an A4

We tested our first A4 car. It'a a 2000 Z with Rapid cylinder heads, a Comp XE-R 228/228/114, FLP headers, Magnaflow exhaust (no cutout), Moser 12 Bolt, 4.11 gears, TCS 4400 converter, TCS Stage II 4L60E, stock pulley, stock TB.

It put down 419.9 rwhp SAE with the converter UNLOCKED. Last pull on the dyno snapped the steel driveshaft in half

Hope to have some track results from this car but the owner says he won't race until this Fall.

Mikey

AWESOME! That's at least a 440 HP if not 450 Hp set-up in an M6.

Yes Craig, this is the car that was in my shop. We dynoed at Performance Specialties in Pottstown, PA.

Sorry guys, no dyno sheet yet. In my haste to get the car on the flat bed and back to my shop, I didn't print it. I'll post it next week when I get back to the dyno shop.

I'm also going to try and lock the converter with Edit on the next package we do.

Thanks for all the kind comments.

Mikey
