Dyno'd and tuned today
Just got back from Carolina Auto Masters with my 06 C6 A6. Jeff and his crew installed a custom grind cam, LG longtubes with cats,160 stat, and did a tune for me. I was hoping for 400 RWHP and a stealthy feel, here's the results:
Stock dyno run: 337.4 rwhp
After mods dyno run: 406.5 rwhp
Not a bad gain in my opinion, and the car feels so much more free, like it was being held back before(TM , I guess). It idles strong enough to move the car a little at stop lights, but quietly. You'd think all I had done was the headers.Still have stock exhaust. 30mph-120mph is an absolute blur! I'm hoping to be in the 11's when I get a chance to take it to Rockingham later this year.
BTW, the Crew at CAM were top notch, very knowledgable and helpful . Great guys and me and the wifey enjoyed lunch too!

The cam is one of Jeff's grinds, so I 'm not sure if he'd want the info out. I did forget to post the torque gains last night, so here goes:
Stock RWTQ:321.5
After Mod RWTQ:386.9
I did notice a little more sound from the header area at 40mph to 70mph,almost similar to a leak, but have since been told it's pretty much what to expect from LG's Headers. It's not bad at all, just noticable with the radio off. Otherwise, this thing at 1/2 throttle runs smooth and quite and at 3/4 to WOT it's a monster.
