Default Put your .02 in plz!

Guy in another town has a 99' m6 reg. t/a. I have a 99' A4 exhaust, lid. He is coming down to my town tonight to "wax me" he says but he may be able to iono. Hes all stock except he says " just put a k&n air filter (16 hp), and a hypertech programmer (26 hp)". Now I know the k&n is bull but anyone know about these hypertechs? I think there bs but iono...He gets beat by his roomate which is a chick that has 97' m6 t/a ( 4:10s, cowl hood, k&n intake, and slp loudmouth). I walked all over her like at least 7 times.

Sorry for the long post but these 2 people **** me off so bad, there cocky and wont shut up. If you told these 2 there years of car came with a turbo from the factory, they would probley believe you. Thats how bad it is here. thxs again

Iono its been like couple months ago when i first got my car. But I have raced him before he got me by not much. But this past weekend I stayed neck and neck with my buddie 02 ws6 from a dig up to about 110, then his 4th gear came into play haha. He has suspention upgrades, headers, and dont think it matters that much but the ls6 intake. Its a M6 also.

16hp K&N ?!!? 26hp Hypertech ??!? ...... sounds like ricer talk to me. If anything he messed around with that programmer a little too much and made his car slower. Some people don't deserve LS1's.

Hypertech can benefit an auto.Shift firmness,ratio,shift points.AS far as the "power tuning" goes....Lets just say I let the stock A/F do its job.I felt like it was leaning it out too much.

I think you'll kick his *** if you walk all over his roommate. Show em how a real LS1 owner should act instead of actin like a dumbass ricer.

The lid w/ a K&N filter is worth a few HP. The K&N intake is **** and twice the price. Tell youur friend he wasted his money with that programer.

What's wierd is, and I don't know if anybody has pointed this out, but your A4 with an intake and exhaust should even out the M6 advantage...right?
And I like how the geared LT1 spanks the M6 LS1, thats good stuff!
I say race him, those Hypertech chips are as much crap on LSx blocks as they are on LTx from what I have learned.

Race him and find out. He wont "wax" you. He might barely edge you out.
