I think that is generally in-line with others. With the VaraRam you'll pick up some ponies at speed.

What type of dyno? Are those SAE corrected or Actual numbers? What gear were the pulls done in?

IMO they seem kind of high for a stock setup.

By far the best numbers I've ever seen for an A6. Mine made 334 rwhp and most have been in line with that.

My guess is that these numbers are from a Dynojet. Mustang dyno's are typically about 10-12 HP lower.

I agree, those are some big numbers. With a tune and Vararam I only have 350 something for both torque and HP.

My baseline 07 A6 pulls done in 4th were 337.1 - 342.5 then after Honker, CC 1.85 rockers and tune 364.1hp - 360.9tq.

I know here in Norfolk Va this weekend I was helping a friend tune 3 C6's, 1 C5, a Calloway 383 Imp SS and 1 Fbody on a DynoJet 248. Actual readings were about 20hp higher than when the SAE correction factor was used. That is why I asked if they were corrected or not.

Depends on how the Dyno Dynamics dyno is setup. We have one locally that is setup to read like a DynoJet. I had my LT1 6spd RX7 on it and a DynoJet 224 back to back for dyno testing. Dyno Dynamics it put down 346/330 DynoJet was 345.52/329.72 SAE corrected on both. A 224xLC DynoJet is a eddy current dyno also where a 248 isn't.

Did you have a "baseline" pull done? Good #'s with the mod,but it isn't a baseline since it isn't stock.
