Very impressive, great baseline for an A6 and even better after adding an intake that's not even supposed to show all that much gain on the dyno to begin with.
Vararam could've possibly leaned it out a tiny bit so after truly 'learning in' the numbers might come down a tiny bit.

What gear was it dyno'd in (3rd or 4th) and was the hood open or closed during the pulls?

not to sure of the gear and yes the hood was open the guy said that it is the best stock numbers that he has tuned if the temp was cooler what do you think it would turn and what would be the numbers uncorrected

I thought that, a Vararam needed forced air, to show a H.P. gain. -- --

Forcing air into it would help but the stock is probably restrictive and it takes air in from the engine bay so eliminating those 2 things probably helped.
