What a difference!!!
The car was tuned today and it made 415rwhp and 391rwtq on a Dynomite Dyno. Now third gear is pointless.

"Dynomites' read low" if this was done on a Dynojet it would be around 440rwhp and 400rwtq.

You don't need a Torque Converter upgrade because of the new camshaft?

I have an 06 A4 Gto..that is only thing stopping me from getting an aftermarket camshaft is the fact that I will have to spend cash on torque converter too!

All relative to the camshaft. Drives like stock... Till you hit it.

Yesterday went to the track and pulled at best a 12.78 @ 111. My 60' was a 2.120.
I was racing on 245/45/18 ALL SEASON tires because something happened to my DRs.
The temp was 90*, spun through first and second. Need to get my third to fourth gear shift changed a little, it lags/on the limiter for a tenth or two.

My guess is that this car will run a 12.5 with better 3rd to 4th, tires and 70* outside.
The pressure in the tires was 28#s seemed to be the best time. Times ranged from 12.8 to 12.78.

What did you do with the AC condensor? Were you able to keep it connected and not lose freon?

I removed the radiator and removed it from the condenser. The condenser lifts up and slightly bend the hoses/tubes pushing the bottom of the condenser toward the inside of the front bumper. Should work with some play.

I actually plan on changing out the camshaft with something more aggressive and more of a lope...

looks great, any plans to dyno? curious what kinda power it makes, lol i find it hilarious that we have almost exactly the same overlap because of advanced duration yet my cam is 214/220 with 272/281 adv duration and a 115 lsa. lol crazy that they sound almost identical.
