1. Increase HP at that RPM level.
2. Decrease RPM at that HP level.

you dont need *** loads of torque; match the stall and gears to the powerband

well i got about 373 wit 355 torque and then i got it tuned and i went up in horses and a little down in torque.. but they fixed like everything on the car.. and it was a really hot and humid day.. and it was the 6th run. put down 380 RHWP and 353 RWTQ but it feels so much better and shifts so much better.. better throttle response.. it feels like i gained at least 50 horses. i was told on a good day. i could see numbers like 390/360 or so. i was just wondering how to get a little torque.

Why do you care what the torque level looks like on the dyno if the car drives well, responded to the tune well, and feels good when you stab the throttle? Dyno is a tool, nothing more...

To get the effect of "more torque" then do what the others suggested... bigger stall for an A4, gears for an M6.

yep, work for me minus the stall

btw, add cubic inches works ok also.
