I assume were talking an A4, right?(Being that 23 mpg highway is horrible for an M6)
And what did the head and cam run you?

Just put an LS6 cam in it. With a lid, Borla (closed up), LS6 cam and tuning my T/A put down 360rwhp. If the Borla was open it might hit 370rwhp, but anyways 360rwhp divided by .88 (M6) = 409hp.
BTW- My T/A still has the stock exhaust manifolds, cats, and y-pipe.
Peace,

I think that I get around 16mpg city driving, with my foot in it (not alot).
Plus when it gets tuning you get timing and with timing you add fuel.
But yea, I hardly drive that far, past 2-1/2 years I put 14k miles on it.
