Just bought the car off of a member on the board and wondering what kind of power it will make when I take it to be dyno tuned.
Let's eliminate the parts that don't matter and see what you have:

A4 LS6 heads, patriot dual gold springs, Comp cam .232 .236 .598/.604 112lsa, Pace setter LT's and ORY, Ls6 intake, ported tb, slp lid, Fuddle 3600 stall, stock muffler, cut out

I'm going to say cutout open = 388/376
cutout closed = 370/365

A4's are not dyno queens.

380-385 if you had a manual transmission I would say 400-410

I know of a M6 that put down 405 with a smaller cam only and mac mids. I realize you have a huge loss through an auto but I would hope it would put 400 down. Maybe I am going to be really dissapointed.

You need a good set of heads to get to 400 with a automatic..

It also depends on how "friendly" the dyno is. Hitting 401 on one person's dyno could be the same as hitting 375 on another dyno.

Dyno number's don't mean **** except for internet dick-wagging and bench racing.

You get an M6 that goes to a friendly dyno and puts down 480rwhp, goes out and runs a 11 flat at 126, gets wasted by the A4 in the other lane that put down 480rwhp and runs 9.90 at 135.

Well said. People put so much value in dyno numbers... I mean, I know its exciting to see what your car is putting out, especially when you put alot of time and research into choosing parts and installing them, or whatever, but a car that puts down a freakish dyno number may not perform well in a certain venue... Say a 1000 horse supra that runs an 11.70 at like, 150... Sure, he has a 1000 horse, and has a traps like an 8 second car, but cant use it.
If having the biggest number on a dyno is your priority, go for it. But if you dont care about titles, and just want a fast car, build a combo that performs, and focus your efforts on getting that power to stick. my .02 cents.

$450 for a complete dyno tune through them. The guy I talked to seem very knowledgeable. I think that is where I am going to take my car when I have it done.

I am getting an MTI clear lid this week too. Not that it will add much but love the look of the clear lid.
