Just dropped car off at Extreme Performance here in OKC for new headers.

Car dynoed at 290 hp 305 torque stock. 1997 A4 with K&N Filter and Corsa Touring edition exhaust.

For 95K miles not bad. Will see what headers do!!!

It's nice to see some higher mileage Vettes still performing well.

What headers did you decide on?

Keep us posted on the results.

Thought long and hard about LG but it's a hell of a drive and talked to local guys and had a couple of horror stories on LG. In there (LG) defense i'm sure it was an isolated thing but I would rather spend my money and have someone to bitch to in town if something isn't right.

LG is a 3 + hour drive and they were quite a bit higher.

Time will tell

If you're making the car breathe easier (headers), you HAVE to get a cold air intake. That was one of the first and best mods I did to my car when it was naturally aspirated.

Nice numbers, but you've only just begun. It's all down hill from here

My 2002 A4 with over 2000 miles with a K/N conical filter in place of the airbox was 295 HP (forgot the torque). So your "old" Vette is doing pretty good I would say!
