stock gears were 2.73s. i know i am not going to get like 400hp or something crazy like that, but i was expecting around 345-350ish. The next mods i will be investing in are a couple drag radials in the back and a cam. I will have to look up whether it is an A4 or M6 though, because I honestly don't know. But thanks to all who provided USEFUL information to me. I appreciate it.

Have you never seen or driven the car? I would say 327rwhp isn't far off. If they tuned it you should be making a little more. 340 maybe....if they are saying they tuned it then they probably don't know what they were doing.

But seriously, your power is about right...don't be discouraged. It's not like you have a ton of mods on the car, and do some SERIOUS research before you go throw a cam on there, which PS will need to be tuned for again......

Dyno's will vary. Dyno numbers are not standardized. They are not divine law. A dyno tune is merely to set the correct A/F ratio and spark advance. You should be more concerned with putting up a number instead of putting down a number.

Your power numbers are right where they should be for an A4. Nothing wrong with those numbers at all. So no need for you to worry.

Power looks great for a geared bolt-on A4. Auto's are not dyno queens so take that into consideration, however you will not be dissapointed on the street/track. Next mods should be a torque stall converter (I say 3500 RPM stall), B&M tranny cooler, good tires, and some suspension mods such as lower control arms, panhard rod, weld-in subframes. Plus, have your stock throttle body ported and pick up a 25% pulley. Dont jump into buying a cam without the supporting mods. Good luck with the car and stay safe!

Yeah, one of my friends told me i should get a stall, but he said go all out with a 4000, lol. Now I'm no expert, but I think that is a little excessive, especially for a street car...Of course, right now since i got all the mods i have now within like a month's timeframe, i think i am gonna wait a while before the better half kills me for bleeding us dry for car parts, lol! Of course, I still want to get a couple more pulls from the guys my wife bought the tune from. Before i left they said 3 pulls for 450...they charged my wife nearly 500 for 2. Kinda shady...

On a side note, DTP Racing is having another "Dyno Day" tomorrow in Chesapeake VA. 3 pulls on the dyno w/air fuel monitoring and a printout for $50. It's a decent time, and the guys there are really cool. Plan on heading there once I get my T/A back together. http://www.DTPRACING.com

Sorry to hijack the threat but I didn't want to make a new one just ofr this. Does anybody know a stock LS1 usually puts out on the dyno. I'm curious cuz I'm gunna get a lid soon and already have a cat-back and don't want to spend the money on a dyno run just for that.
