I dont doubt CSIXX1 made some great gains with his headers though. I'm expecting to see around 50RWHP with the long tube headers, intake & tune... If I gain more than that Ill be very happy.
I'm more a fan of actual track data then DYNO's anyway. DYNO's are only as good as the operators abilities and calibration of the equipment. And even then final output means little as Its only the difference between the before and after that matter.

What shop. According to you dyno sheet you also picked 70 foot pounds of torque. Most bolt on and cam combos don't see that. Especially through a A6.

We did also add a 160 thermostat at the same time.
Baseline was done a few months before install. I suppose you could chalk a few percent of the gains up to lower temps and different humidity, but it was still hot.
From what I've heard, people see decent gains switching to the Pfadt's from other longtube headers.
Wish I had ever done any 1/4 mile runs, so that I could at least give some results to show the improvements.
Feel free to give their shop a call if you don't believe me. For all I know they could've fudged the numbers to make me feel good about my investment. I highly doubt that, however, after dealing with them for almost the past year.

Lethal Racing here in Lafayette, LA. They have a Dynocom chassis dynamometer, if you're wondering what type the runs were on. Running 93 octane Exxon pump gasoline (typical E10 I guess) with no extra additives on both runs.
