I took advantage of Andy's supercharger deal for Dec. and picked up the car yesterday, drove it back here to Flagstaff last night. Car put down 582(581.92) RWHP and 500(499.85) ft. lbs. of torque. I am really happy with the outcome. Andy truly knows these engines and how to get the HP out of them. I am computer illiterate, so if some one will send me their fax number I will fax the sheet to you to post.

Reading your sig, I think the hood seal must have been good for at least 50 of those horses.... Seriously, super numbers...you've got to be happy with that

What cam are you running?

Comp 228/232. It's, I think, a 114 that Andy set back one degree when he installed it.

That is correct, Andy was going to go for some more horses. He thought I had a RPM stage IV tranny and backed it down when I told him the tranny was stock.

What a coincidence we both started out with the 2004 A4 Commemorative Edition Lemans Vert. then handed them over to A&A for some more power. but you are 4 years older than me and should know better.

How did Andy compensate for Flagstaff's high elevation in the tune? I live in ABQ (6000'), but will likely have the S/C installation and tune done elsewhere at a much lower altitude.

Excellent numbers, I also have the A&A kit, with stock bottom end, heads and cam, at 5psi, I'm at 540 rwhp 475/ tq. I would like to check into a blower cam and add the meth to it. I wonder if that would get me up closer to 575 / 500

My A4 is at 397RWHP with a 224/224 .567/.567 LSA114, LG LT headers ith hi-flow cats, under drive pully, Ported LS6 intake, Patriot 243 CNC heads milled to 62 cc. With a Vortech V2 SQ, I want to keep the boost down to 5 to 8 psi because of my stock bottom. My goal is to reach 525/550RWHP.
Is this reachable?
Thanks
