excuse me? was mine the 01 z28 a4? when did you kill, i dont remember that, i just remember us being even, maybe with me inching you out.

sorry for the thread hijack. From what i hear, nothing but good from CMS and strictly, but I went to Haddad based on recommendations from some very close friends, and I couldnt be happier. I dont look at hp numbers since every dyno is tuned differently, but i can tell you that with my tune i gained 13 hp and 20 lb.ft. of torque. The car also drives much smoother, shifts faster (higher line pressure) and no longer has a governor.

Im sure the other places mentioned here can do at least equal work.

Well, to put dyno numbers into perspective, I put down 420+ though an A4, baby cam, stock torque converter, 243 heads, and full exhaust.

Of course, I never thought it was legit, but I have the paper to prove it. So like everyone else, I could put it in my sig.......... but it would be BS, based on logic.

Goes to show you that dyno's aren't what they're cracked up to be.

Why would those numbers be false? 420RWHP is completely reasonable considering there are plenty of 400RWHP cam only A4's and a set of LS6 heads should bring another 20RWHP to the table

+1 for Charlie @RPM. I drive 1.5 hours from Yucaipa, CA to have him tune my car so it is well worth the money.

That would be the definition of factory freak IMO. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but when I looked a few yrs ago I couldn't find a similar auto making over 400.

Another way to look at it would be after I added a torque converter and UD pulley, I lost around 60-70rwhp.
