is this possible/realistic?
you guys are allowed to say no, this is just for my own curiosity.
Say you want 500-550RWHP. Naturally Aspirated. On an A4 C5 - that is a Daily Driver.
Basically, this means it needs to stay very very streetable.
Can it be done on a stock-cube engine?
(trying to decide if I'm gonna go with a Lingenfelter 403ci LS2 and build that up, or keep what I've got now)

BTW, had you asked if your goal was obtainable with a power adder I would have said yes.

Why do you want THOSE numbers ?? Numbers are for bench and bar racing, not on the road.
You can be supprised what a great dyno tune will do for power under the curver, vs high end HP numbers.
Good Luck on your project.

lol yeah, I know - 400-450 and a good torque converter would prolly do it for me
but he can still up the boost a little ways - so if I wanna get ahead and stay ahead, gotta shoot for big
