yes, but Pat G already told you what you need to do TSP is the only one that can tell you what the best combo from TSP is to get you to 500rwhp...send your question to them and see what they say.

Texas Speed makes some nice stuff, no doubt. But for my money, its CARTEK hands down.

Just my .02

PS, my 507RW is not just dyno hype either, the car traps 132 MPH
Damn, that is sick brother..!

Your buddy made 500rwhp in an A4 with a stock(346ci)bottom?

If you want 500rwhp and also the track times to back that number up call CARTEK 908-317-4496. Best choice I ever made was going to those guys.

Prices vary depending on springs, valves, and porting stage. You can call Julian or Max at 908.317.4496

I would be pissed too. LOL When we put together this setup we knew I would be looking at a 7000 to 7200RPM redline. And with the power we were expecting to see, Julio [CARTEK's owner and tuner] expected to see a 131-132 trap speed at best. According to a gear/mph calculator, with a 28" tire, 4.56 gears, at 7200 RPM [not including tire growth] I should be at 131,5 MPH. That is why that gear was chosen. Before that I had 4.11's This just once again goes to show that EVERYTHING has to work together to get a good number. You can just order random parts and expect to see good numbers. Its a mistake that a lot of people make. Cam from this guy, heads from that guy, tune from a third guy, intake from yet another place... not gonna work.

What are the "ballpark" specs on your cam? Mid 240's? Lift around .650?

Badass car
The best 60' was 1.40, but on my 10.32 pass I got a 1.43 The weather that day was very rainy, and there was mist in the air and on the track all day. A lot of slipping and sliding.

Valves are 2.02 and 1.57 if i remember correctly.

Cant remember what the heads flow, I was standing next to the flow bench, but this was 2 years ago.

Ballpark on cam... not sure how much I'm allowed to disclose... duration is around there... the lift is WAY LESS Once again, I would refer you back to CARTEK.

Cartek can give you reliable power that speaks for itself with track numbers , not dyno B.S .
