358RWHP :o on with a rough graph, I have been very busy at work, a tune is coming pretty soon.

So is a new set of numbers

At least my main goal is already set, more power than a C5ZO6 with my 1999 A4 (stock 345HP at crank).

Today at the dyno a low miles completely stock C5Z06 could only get 346RWHP.
Nice numbers man! I'm sure a good tune will new you more power.

I did a head and cam swap on my 97 and netted 381 WHP and and 360ish TQ (untuned and with an exhaust leak) I used stock LS1 805 castings and had them hand ported. My cam specs are a bit more then yours (still very mild compaired to alot of what I see around here)

I didnt read the entire post, but arent you concerned with running it lean without a tune?

When you mod,,, MOST of the time,,,, it runs really RICH. Tuning adjust for that and you gain power.

your post have me all fired up!!! This is the exact set up I want for my 99, I have kooks headers with LG exhaust. Getting ing 243's LS6 intake and have been very curios about that cam. I like my stock TQ converter and A4 tranny. I imagine it has been tuned by now, what where the final numbers? Have you tracked it with the good tune yet?

Note that this thread is several years old and the OP hasn't been on the forum in two years.

Brother,,, I don't think that exists.... I had a friend that wanted the same thing for his 2000 coupe. Installed a cam and ended up having to install a converter due to needing to bump up the idle.
