Default RP Motorsports

I had my car done my RP motorsports, when I got it done I didn't really know anyone else to do it. I look on here and saw people talking about how bad they were. I got 6.0 heads and cam. and only got 415rwhp. After reading all of the things said about RP im very down about the car. I need to get it re tuned or something. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! HELP ME OUT!!

A4 or M6 also were your 6.0L heads ported? And if they are 6.0L heads what size combustion chambers do they have, the factory size? If so it will lower your compression significantly. If it's an A4 those are great numbers if it's an M6 then they are okay depending on what has been done to the heads.

I don't know the specs. I know they were ported and polished. It has 11:1 ratio. It is a M6. I hate that i don't know the specs. I done this a couple of years ago and didn't even think about specs. Thanks for the help. I just saw A LOT of people downing RP and thought I would ask you guys. Thanks

Well they are "secret" specs.. and its a REGRIND cam unless for some reason they used a new one.

Just about everybody here with a 228 or bigger cam is hitting 400rwhp with cam only.

Sorry dude....

415rwhp really isn't all that bad.. Not everybody's car on here is dynoqueens. You have a dyno sheet? Ever ran it at the track? I've never had any experience with RP, so I can't really say anything bad or good....

Yah, a retune probably would help out, go dyno your car elsewhere from Rp, I've been reading up on them and have seen that sometimes they produce bogus dyno's. Pretty gay...

I really have no experience with any local tuners but I've read alot about "bille" with prescribed power?? I agree man, that really sucks.. You put alot of faith/money into a company and don't get what you pay for. Hopefully your car was done right and does well on the dyno with a good tune.
