Did you baseline it before doing any of the mods? Curious what the gain was modded versus base.

Is your car A6 or M6?

Thanks for any answers you care to give.

Jim, las vegas
Years ago I did it on my Ls2 which was a manual trans. Carteck tuned it to like 364/365. I didn't have a baseline but the car surely felt it lost a. It down low but gained over like 4500 rpms. Overall, it felt like a net gain.

This week I did it on my 2012 A6. Identical set up 391.6/420.

If you wanna see the graphs let me know. Shoot me a PM. I might be able to find the old one

Thank you for posting the photo of you and Zoe, that is so cool. He's a happy camper and I am pretty sure he keeps you happy and sometimes he does a good job humbling you (mine does )

Your absolutely right 312, I made a small shrine of Zoe in my mancave. We now have another awesome dog, Lola the frenchie.

Thanks Joey, I wont bother with a long explanation about how it went yesterday, I'm just disappointed
Test done on a DynoDynamics machine, you can read about them if you care.
2011 GS A6 and same mods as yours
363.7 rwhp torque I don't have in front of me
What brand dyno did your tuner use please?
NSF

See the attached pic

I wouldn't worry about the numbers. It was a Dynapack Chassis Dyno. Doug @ ECS tuned the car and installed the stuff ( which was off a 2007 ZO6). He told me that the real torque number (based upon some explanation about the converter and clutches) was closer to 390.

This was in 50 degree temps in the rain, so I haven't had a chance to drive the car and check for a seat of the pants change.

You know some dynos are low and some are high, so don't put stock in the numbers.

Here is 1 graph.

Thanks Bud, I can definitely tell you that your car is FASTER & LOUDER than it was, of that I'm positive.
I was fairly surprised when I hit from a slow roll at how hard it pulls now, so yeah I was disappointed by the numbers but is seem to haul *** whereas before it was OK, but just OK

Performed a complete paint correction over the course of last week, installed an alternator cover, pulled the wheels and cleaned both them and the wheel wells, put a couple of coats of Zaino on it, and cleaned out all of the nooks and crannies to get the dust from the paint correction out. My intake plenum cover is the only thing I have left to do other than vaccuum the interior and put some leather treatment on my seats.

The chrome/brushed one from ACC that has the C6 flags in red. It matches my fluid caps. I measured the holes to drill for that about six times to make sure I got it just right.
