Default Stock RWHP C6?

Just wonderd what the average Stock RWHP is on a C6 a6? I hear around 340hp. Wonder if anyone is getting 360 stock to the wheels.

If you could put every stock C6 on the same dyno, I figure that would be about the average.....340.

Most of these are manuals however, and its not uncommon to see high 340s, low 350s. But the automatics should not be too far behind. Mine is a manual, and with very few miles on it (less than 2K) and fresh off the interstate following a 20+ mile trip to the speed shop, and then right straight onto the dyno, less than 10 minutes off the road, came in at 340 on the nose, smoothing at 5 and SAE corrected,.

Had it been cooler and and better broken in, who knows?

If you are into quarter mile results, the quickest bone stock quarter mile time reported on this forum was run by forum member LS1 LT1 in an A6.

[QUOTE=07MontRedcp;1558902819]Mine dynoed at 349/349 bone stock W/3338 miles on the engine.


The reason i asked, i took my C6 a6 to a dyno shop that offerd three pulls for $50,00. The shop had never done a C6 or a any Vette for that matter. They were kinda lost doing my C6, the numbers came out to 305 RWHP , this was not done on a dynojet. They said add around 12% to the 305 rwhp if it was done on a dyno jet.

Who knows, i'm new to the dyno thing.

I wouldn't let anyone use my car as a test subject and pay them $50.00 for it. Don't take your car to anyone who doesn't know the car. It sounds like these folks didn't even know their own dyno . My 06 A6 was 337 at the wheels stock. 305 is totally sofakingwetoddid

Wished i knew they never did a C6 before i went, they do alot of imports and stangs.

They said add around 12 to 15% to the 305 hp figure if it were done on a dynojet.

No, no...your car should be as listed if stock, meaning 400 BHP (at the flywheel. You take approx 15-17% from that and it's what should be at your rear wheels. The 15% they told you would be what you lost from engine to rear, which would put you at 350.75BHP(flywheel), not the 400bhp your car is supposed to have.

no, it won't be....it would only you around 360 crank hp. your dyno shop has no clue about heat soak in the ls2. i am sure when they dyno it, your iat and ect was way up there to cause pcm to pull timing.

Automatics usually pull about 325 on the ground when stock.
