Dynos are the bain of the uninformed enthusiast. These #'s get tossed out to the owners and they believe it. Use the proper correction factors and you're ok. Dial in 1000 ft below sea level and zero humidity and you'll "produce" more RWHP than the engine is rated by the factory at the crank. Drives me nuts.
Did a DynoRun this past weekend on my 2000 Vert Auto Dynorun on Sat.
Pull One SAE Max Power = 330.7 SAE Max Torque = 336.4
Did a tune because it was running really rich and at 5800 RPM there was a 30hp drop off
Pull Two SAE Max Power = 333.6 SAE Max Torque = 338.6
and the 30hp drop off at 5800 RPM was gone
I have the following mods: Corsa Indy Pace Car exhaust, X pipe, no cats, 160 Thermostat, coolant bypass, Vortex intake
I think if I add the hood seal those numbers should go up
Amazing. My measly '02 M6 peaked at 328rwhp/344rwtq (SAE) with Quad Borla Stingers and a Blackwing intake (up from 312/334 bone stock). I'm surprised that your car, being an A4 and similarly modded, pulled even higher numbers.
I'm only pulling 323hp/343tq - 2004 A4 2.73 w/ Halltech Stinger, LGM LTs, Magnaflow exhaust & dyno tune. Either you have got a perfectly tuned motor or the dyno is off.
Well Tampa Fl is at sea level can't get much flatter than Florida. Not sure why you would think the Dyno is not right because I was pulling higher numbersthen you. You didn't mention if you have cats or an xpipe. I know not having the cats is good for a couple of HP's along with the xpipe. My A4 is also has 3.14 gears. Anyway I am a happy camper :-)
BTW, there were a bunch of guys with Z06's there as well. Some of these cars were amazing, one pulled 511, but I guess with 30k in mods anyone can do that :-). I was one of the only non z06's there and my numbers were much smaller then theirs. I was just happy that I was pulling better then a stock Z06

3.14 gears are those custom?
Nice numbers now take it to the track, and report back to us.
