What can I expcet?
I have a 2013 GS A6. The warranty is about to run out and I don't plan on an extended warranty. I want more HP out of it, but maintain a stock look and drive ability.
I don't track or drag it at the present time, and I doubt I will ever track it, I just like the HP. I have been looking at 21st Century's Edlebrock SC package which is advertised at 610 HP (flywheel) which I think translates to a high 4's to low 5's WHP. Everything I have read on this forum says depending upon the budget and steps you take, headers and exhaust need to be added.
If I start with the SC, do 21st Century's #'s look reasonable?

I'd do the Magnacharger heartbeat setup before the Edelbrock if you're going with that type of blower, personally.
ECS/A&A are also options you should consider, IMO.
You can leave the factory exhaust or change it.. just depends what your goals are. I did Z06 manifolds/exhaust system to keep factory cats. You won't get all the gains of long tubes going that route but it's better than the LS3 manifolds/cats.

If you don't plan to install and work on the car yourself, or don't have the knowledge, then the important thing is finding the right shop. Talk to a few in your area, get some references, or ask here about their reputation, and make sure you choose one that you feel comfortable with. In other words one that takes the time to go through yoru wants, and explains things to you. Once you decide on a shop, then discuss various options with them and listen to their advice.

The numbers look reasonable. If you go that route the eforce is a great blower and adds tons of fun to the car.

this for sure, if you don't have time or experience to do your own work and tuning I would just go with whatever the best local shop recommends. Important to find a shop that has done what you want to do before so you're not the first time
