No this one is over my head Nice local dealer is up to it and can really tune. This has been really researched and should go well. It is also all I am willing to do on stock underpinning. I just want to make it a strong driver with this A6.
Thanks

To be honest, I don't know. The car has not been on the dyno since the install of the smaller 3.25" pulley and larger injectors. The smaller pulley added about 1.5 psi. The larger injectors were needed to lower the injector duty cycle. With my mods I was running out of injector with the 52lb injectors that came with the #1591 kit. Coolhand 5599 has a nearly identical setup (although his has an A6 and mine an MN6) and he last dyno'd right at 600rwhp if that helps. He's also had his car to the track on several occasions. Keep in mind he has a Grand Sport (heaviest of the pack), he added over 100lbs of Dyna Mat when he upgraded the stereo, and he still came home with a couple of 10.3x time slips...not too bad.

Any adverse street manners will come from your cam selection...absolutely zero bad manners with the Edelbrock without a cam! Mine has a cam....ever so slight fuel small at idle and the occasional mild surge when I'm running around in the wrong (too high) gear.
Add the BeeHive and trim the shroud...effectively creates a cold air intake for the Edelbrock.
Superchargers produce heat...sit still in traffic with any supercharger and you'll get inlet air temps high enough for the car to start reducing timing. This is also true with a stock car but very few guys bother to watch IATs on a stock setup. It's all about sizing the heat exchanger for it's job.

Thanks, very good information. I have the Beehive shroud and I see how to trim it. My cam is mild. Thanks for the help.

A PJ!...bet you have more than a couple of war stories to tell!!
You'll need to cut the last two inches off the Beehive on the passenger side where it runs down along the radiator. There is a cooling line for the sc heat exchanger there that would otherwise be in the way.
Also you want to open a couple of vent holes in the black plastic shroud in front of the radiator for fresh air...works well.
