Default Powerloader Before and After

I recently ordered a Powerloader for my 98 A4. Has anyone ever checked their car on a dyno before and after installing a Powerloader, if so was there a difference in horsepower and torque.

Didn't check dyno times before and after, but have comparative 1/4 mile et's and speed if that helps. Before PL2, I turned a 13.99-14.00 at 102-103mph. This was with all the mods in my sig w/o PL2. I recently (last saturday dyno'd at 329rwhp and 318.9rwtq) went to capital drag raceway and turned a 13.71@105 on my first run. :confused:My second run I turned a 13.33@109mph and whupped a ramair ws6 transam with drag radials(he turned in a 13.44@107mph) :cheers: :D :D Also, during my dyno, the owner of the dyno(who did all the testing) took my C5 up to 163.3 mph and still had 500rpm left :eek: :D The sound was AWESOME :yesnod: :crazy: My daughter said the sound from the Indy's could be heard a block away. Damn, I love this car :yesnod: :cheers: :D :D almost forgot, I have 2.73 rear end :yesnod: :crazy: :D

Two weeks ago, I order a PL2 for my '98, also. I haven't dynoed yet but was thinking of doing a before and after. I will post results.

I have read that the PL2 increases torque more in the low end which is hard to measure with an A4.
