Are you talking hp at the crank or at the wheels? That will make a big difference in how you get to 425hp.

Is your car a M6 or A4?

He is talking crank HP, which is fine. Bolt ons and tune will get him IF it be 01+ and M6 around 350-355 rwhp. The only thing that will get him over that mark further would be a cam. BUT since he does not want to go internal. Nitrous or a Supercharger alone would do the same.

i dont think you can hit 425 hp without going into the engine, bolt ons will only get you so far( i think its like 375 if you have everything and they all work great)

Forced induction is the only way you will get that kind of power without going internal

stall converter around 3200-3600 range will make a major difference. youll need tires for traction but itll be worth it.

Full bolt on a4 prolly looking around 335 with a tune. and with an a4 it will take alot more to hit 425.
