Matt, I'm not trying to hijack this tread, but running that rich, do your headers glow a little at night? My car seems to be running that rich and have noticed the LT headers glowing.

Now for your question, I don't know the difference, but going from 190 to 260 can only bring good results!

I would be curious also. I m running about same setup (see profile).
I am having problems getting up and running however. Water running out of headers at startup. Another story!

+60hp minimum, gains will be everywhere too, not just at peak.

I've seen data where worked #113s gave 30chp gain; those AFRs should net at least this much, assuming the intake & exhaust can handle it.
On the plus side that 11:1 A/F should move toward the desirable 12:1 range.

current combo w/113s dynoed at 273rwhp/308rwtq on mustang dyno
tune was very rich a/f=11
current est hp = 364, est tq = 411
If you have an A4, assume 17% DT loss; so 273rwhp->330chp. To verify, take it to the strip and use trap speed & launch weight to calc. chp.

My guess is you will gain 1 hp.

273 rwhp thru an auto, I have that at right around 340 flywheel ponies..... probably good for around 106-108 mph trap speeds or thereabouts.

But, regardless, provided your motor is hitting on all 8, I think you'll make around 400 flywheel HP and even a little above that with your set-up.....should be good for 112-114 mph traps.

good luck !
