Default Straightline Bolt On Package

A member from the forums, kmthor00, dropped his car off Tuesday for our bolt on package. The car made 305 RWTQ and 310 RWHP Stock on our MD-1100 Mustang Dyno.

The bolt on package includes:
VaraRam Intake
Ported LS2 Throttle Body
Ported LS2 Intake
Kooks Headers & Connection Pipes

Corsa Sport Paddle Shift Midpipe
Dyno Tuning

After the modifications the car made:
355 RWTQ & 358 RWHP
Thats + 50 TQ and + 45 HP. with just intake and exhaust work!

Pretty low baseline numbers compared to others.....I'd wonder if you could have gotten near that from the tune alone. Nice gain overall, though.

Don't stock engines make around 335 to 340 RWHP?

Every A6 C6 we've done has made from 300-325 RWHP. It's freshly calibrated and very low on numbers. Dyno numbers mean nothing, they're just for tuning and to measure gain. That is a pretty good gain! It made 340rwhp with no tuning on the new stuff. 18 RWHP was from tuning.

I was going to say, a load bearing mustang dyno usually gives lower results. Good gains overall though.

Nice job Mike! We do a ton of the same package with comparable results. The A6 tranny robs a decent power clip which is why the numbers appear lower.

All the C6's we have seen make between 325-345 RWHP stock trim. The Kooks headers are a must have item on a C6 as the LS2 loves exhaust improvements!

The Vararam unit for the C6 is VERY clean!

Ken Very glad to hear you're happy, she's all washed and waiting by the front door for you right now. You'll be excited to take her for a ride, i hope its nice out for you!

We did use the mid pipes you are talking about, except off road ones. The nice thing about our state is we can get by the emissions very easy.
