My H/C build is complete
I posted this in my Regional Section (160+ views and 2 responses). 
Probably just a case of WGAF.
My builder/tuner (Tom Wong) finished my H/C build last Friday and
, it's awesome. 
My 03 A4 Coupe already had AR Headers, VaraRam B2, 3:42 gears, 2800 Yank Stall.
Here is a list of the new stuff he added:
New Z06 heads
Dual valve springs
Push rods
LS7 lifters
WPE custom grind cam 224/230 113 LSA
LS2 Timing chain
GM high volume, high pressure oil pump
Catch can
Powerbond 10% UD pulley
After the build, Tom applied his tuning prowess and yielded an amazing...
416 rwhp/392 rwtq.
...and it sounds nasty!!!!

Thanks all for all of the nice comments. I am working on a sound clip. I'll post it soon (once I firure out how to point to a Photobucket video. :o).
The heads are new 243 heads and are not milled or ported.

It was a Mustang Dyno (SAE corrected).
I am not sure about the TC being locked. It may be. I know I asked him when the TCC locks, and later that day we set it to lock > 45 mph. On the dyno I watched him run it up "normally" to 4th gear, then he aggressively accelerates hard, but not hard enough to cause a downshift to 3rd.

Nice numbers.

Mustang dynos differ in the way they measure performance when compared to a Dyno Jet. Mustang dynos are better tuning tools but result in a lower measured rwhp number.
I think the previous poster was asking if Tom used some sort of correction factor (perhaps within the Mustang dyno software) to give you numbers to compare with other Dyno Jets.
EDIT: Now that I think of it... I thought Tom had a Dynojet with an eddie current absorber on it?
