Hi guys I just got back from redline performance here in Ontario Canada and I had my 05 c6 a4 with 1 7/8 ar headers hf cats and x pipe,160 stat,vararam,373 gears,3200 vigalante converter.It made 360hp and 360 lbs tq and the dyno was a dynojet.What do you guys think about these numbers.I was told that I loose power on the dyno because of the gears.
So that's about 340 U.S. ?

Ponchorello.thats why dyno numbers really mean nothing.
if you check the 1/4 mile performance thread. you will see i went 12.38 without dyno tune or headers. and with tune headers stock converter stock tires vr 160 stat corsa sports and high flow cats. no cats you had an advantage. fully loaded i weigh 265 hot day i went 12.062 at 116.72 and later on went 12.020 at 117 and went 11.98 with the converter with stock run flats could have went faster but decided to by drags instead of new runflats i think their was 16000 miles on them. now in the n.j. heat high humidity low bp 11.62 consistently cant wait till fall. get your 60 ft down

Your corsa sports offset my non catted xpipe. I am on stock exhaust. Figure you catback gained at least 5 ponies as did my non-cat xpipe.
We basically have the same mods and we trapped at nearly identical speeds. Humidy offset as well, Texas is extremely humid right now and as well as being pretty damn hot. If i am am not mistaken, you havent dyno'd your car so theres no telling where your rwhp stands.
You also have the benefit of a Z51 suspension...i am a base C6.

today temp92 hum93% bp 29.88
my dyno numbers would be less with the gears now
you did very good. no reason to get defensive. i was just letting you know my times were better than yours before the converter and gears. when you beat my bolt on time without your nitrous. i will applaud you. then beat your time

Going to try this friday to best my 12.22. I'd be happy with a 12.0-12.1...
I sold my nitrous a couple of months ago but going cam and supercharger in a couple of weeks.
