Yes, you will feel a noticeable difference, but be advised that your numbers will be higher than a dyno jet. When I had my 07 LS2, it put down 410 RWHP and 422 RWTQ SAE on Synergy's dynapack, but the car put down 394 RWHP and 397 RWTQ SAE on a dyno jet, which is a significant difference, unless you are just using a dyno as a tuning tool.

Synergy is great shop and Rick is a great mechanic and Guy He did my gears and I dropped it off at 930 am and it
was done at 430. He reused all my 08 stuff and changed the gears (plus there set-up right with no noise and they take track abuse) them selves where some just keep your rear and give you another rear.

Your car is EXACTLY what I've done to mine...
I have a 2005 with a Vararam, 160 T Stat and a Cartek tune..and Mickey Thompson Drag Radials...
if you want something to compare it to last week I ran 12.11 @ 115 mph at Atco NJ.. That was my personal best, but the car has run lots of 12..teens at 114 mph.. Mine is an LS2 A4 (Automatic) with a stock converter, and 3.15 gears..
Oh BTW I don't rely or count Dyno #'s I only count the ET or MPH I SEE on the track.. remember all Dyno's are different, and the operator may use different methods..
Take it ON THE TRACK! & post the REAL ET !! Personally I don't care if my car only makes 275 RWHP as long as it will run low 12 or high11's What good is it if you make 700 RWHP but run 13.60
The point I'm trying to make is its how well you put the HP to the track NOT how much you make....
