There could be a number of variables how much power you could make with that setup,i,m judging ur car is an auto,you will between 260 to 280rwkw approx.

Get a fast90 dude, makes a big difference, you should get 300rwkw+ with decent heads and that cam. I had 290rwkw with a 220 cam, fast90/dart205's

i class my mine has a 300 rwkw car

had 5 dyno runs when i did all my mods- 298,296,301,305,299 rwkw--made 321 rwkw on a dyno that was on drugs-so i took it to a dyno that reads very very low-if that make sense-

224/228- lifters,pushrods,springs,over the rad-fast 90-holley 90 t/b+36 pound injectors

1 7/8 pipes-hi-flow cats-twin 3 inch system

xtreme clutch

heads are standard and had a bowl clean only-thats what the head guy told me-

all this through a manual


i will be running it soon to see if my figures add's up-
hope that helps-

Since Sonny does that for a living the figures he quotes will be accurate. Once your car gets on the dyno next week you'll know the exact figure.

Dont get too hung up on the peak number mate, it's how much is under the curve that counts, get a reputable tuner. And obviously Sonny's estimate will be close.

thanks mate just a bit worried if i should put the di fillipo bigger headers on or not? or maybe because of the head work i should and also use a dual 3 inch??? all headaches anyone else have some helpfull advice???

Sorry forgot to mention that flowcraft also shaved the heads 30-40 thou to bring comp up, if this helps.
Sorry just being impatiant till the car comes back.....

i have the same cam in mine with similar mods and pulled 300.5rwkw last weekend, but through a manual

but as ppl have said at the end of the day its jsut a number and a dyno is a tuning tool, so dont get too caught up as nice as it is too see a 3 at the front its how the cars drives that really matters

let us know what it pulls though

peace

Most people would recommend going to the bigger extractors and twin 3s with heads and a cam but you could still use your current exhaust with the heads and cam, you just wont get the highest kws possible. Might, although I'm not sure, keep your low to mid power a bit better with the smaller pipes

i only put the big pipe's+twin 3''because i knew i was going to do a engine oneday- which i am in the process of

so i did not want to buy an-other exhaust system later on

every has their view -but i for one base a big exhaust on 2 things- a lot of mods and a bigger engine which wants to breathe more later down the track-

You will get between 280 - 295RWKW long as you have the right exhaust.

With my LS1 - 310RWKW and 615NM

My Mods:

Head and Cam
Fast manifold
92mm TB
OTRCAI
25% UB kit
Z Grip Textralia clutch
F1 3” Mr Muffler exhaust system.

Remember its a manual

Have fun ;)

Depends on the tune and such but i reckon if it's a calm driveable machine and you get cool air 280 would be the benchmark.

The dyno people should know if their machine and it could vary a bit... it come down to honesty and with that kind of power in an A4 you only have two gears anywhere legal.

If the heads have been done well you might get 300.

I'm just starting a more mild build with 265 and mild head ports exhaust so what would I know? The c/r and tune might be factors. 260-270rwkw should be a minimum on a pessimistic dyno, and if not there might be something not quite right, but I'd be looking for 280 with air in at under 15C or so. What did Flowcraft do with the heads? Did they raise the c/r?
