Ok vengence finished my car but i can't get it til tomorrow cause i had no way of getting to the shop. Anyways, I was told the car made 500rwhp which is what I expected. I dont know the rwtq yet but i will have dyno printout and I asked Ron to record the dyno session for me. So I should have all of those tomorrow. I can see that I will pick up more power and torque once the motor is broken in. Then, maybe a little bit more depending on what motor oil I use when it's time to change oil. It's alot better than 414rwhp. I think 500rwhp is pretty good for an a4 and the tranny is new too. Don't know if it's thru an unlocked converter yet.

The thought has crossed my mind plus a much more sinister approach. I was curious about your numbers. How you managed that? I assume your car is stick which is less drivetrain loss. I know that's more to it.

The larger bore of a sleeved LS2 does have its advantages. As well as the WCCH Heads.

That and Shawn MIller and Ed Hutchings at VA Speed..

West Coast Cylinder Heads = proheads.com

Richard's Stage 3 heads are a thing a beauty. They flow LS7 numbers of good quality air. My cam is also smaller than yours but it's definitely not off the shelf.

Yea that's cool. I like my cam alot. You got some sick numbers though. John thought my car was gonna make 480rwhp but I exceeded that. I figured at least 500rwhp. I could of made more if I ran a bigger size header. But that's ok. I really can't justify getting another header just to chase dyno numbers. It's because I'm not into that kind of thing. The numbers I like the most is 1/4mile and trap speed.

Yea and im gonna find out today when I pick it up. I'm at school til 12ish and my car is 2hrs away. So tha suspense is still killing me. Right now, I don't know all the details yet other than the rwhp results. Im really interested in the feel of the rwtq. That's where it's at. I hope Ron remembered to record the dyno session. If not, no big deal. I may throw some spray on it. But the real priority is getting a stronger rearend.
