I am ready to dyno the Z, computer is already tuned for my mods. What A/F ratio is desired? Anything else I should watch. He has a Dynojet.

Have fun

The first time I dyno'ed mine the guy let me run the car. They will strap the car down, and you take off 1st, 2nd 3rd, and 4th.
when you hit 4th he will say nail it to redline, Nothing to it.


Your air/fuel should be good with your tune, I think you should be around 12-14 air/fuel

With your mods you might hit 420RWHP, depending on your cam

Hey thanks. I had my 98 A4 on the dyno before, not the Z. 420 is about what I am expecting if my clutch will handle it as it is getting weak.

Diamond,
Good luck with the clutch.

I'm guessing 428RWHP
