colder and less dense air equals more HP. If a dyno is calibrated then they should produce consistent accurate results. A good operator and set up will adjust for temperature, pressure altitude, density altitude foir a result measured at standard pressure and sea level.

Very Nice numbers!
Those LS3's really wake up with bolt-ons.

When I hit the gas now, rather than just lunge forward, you can feel it dig into the pavement, and then take off
I'm pleased with the numbers ... and the mods. end because of them. In my '99 and '07, I did headers, X-pipe, high flow cats, etc. but, I just don't see the need this time around.
The track .... probably not
Thanks for your input before I made my decision to get the work done in the first place

No warr. worry
Adding a CAI, a stat, & mufflers won't void you warrenty. Hell my car is noticably cammed, slammed, & obviously not stock hood opened or closed & I got all kinds of warrenty work. No drivetrain issue, but a four wheel alignment after lowered which one is covered in 1st year. The rest conv. top fixes, interior a-pillers delaminating, sqeaks & rattles, hell even top excessive wind noise at over 100mph. The worked on it all. The service manager did say, you know we're doing you a favor, but it was probably after he saw the car roll through for the 10th time. Supposedly a perf. tune may raise the 'ol red flag, but you'ld be hard pressed to find a dealer to actually check it. If they do, put it back to stock & go to the next closest. Now if you supercharge it & blow something up you s.o.l., but external engine mods most people will work with ya, but it's an excellent idea to eastablish a report & get an oil change or alignment or 2 & become familiar w/ the dealer & let them become familiar w/ you.

Took the '08 A6 in and had the following installed, and tuned:
1) Halltech Killer Bee and Halltech Beehive Cold Air shroud
2) Corsa Sports
3) 160 thermostat
DynoJet results:
1st run: Hp: 371.8 Torque: 366.7
Last pull after mods: Hp: 397.6 Torque: 391.7
Note: humidity was high, temperature at 1st pull: 80 - last pull: 88
Hp gain: 25.8
Torque gain: 25
I know the #'s would be higher with cooler temp, less humidity, and the car being cold first thing in the morning, but, I wanted to share this info for members thinking about the same mods
I welcome info from others who did the similar to their C6
