Tune + Calloway CAI + 160 stat
Ballpark, what hp + torque gains on a Dynojet should one expect from these mods? Car is a 2010 A6 Grand Sport, LS3, with dual mode exhaust.
Car pulled 352hp/359tq @ the wheels after mods but before tune.
Thanks

Those mods you did only yield so much gain on a dyno, it's out on the track where they will shine more of course.

I have not dynoed my car so it would be nice if you could get some 1/4 mile times before and than after the tune for us GS guys along with the dyno results of the tune.
PS: Although this is my first vette, I am a long time fat bracket racer
so I know how to get a car down the track, so don't worry about it if your "et" does not get as low.

I also have a 2010 GS, A6 but with the base 430 hp set-up (see side pic) and a "home made" CAI using an OEM filter/assembly, other than that it is completely stock. I weigh 255 lbs. and so far my best 1/4 mile et has been 12.01 @117+ mph running about 5/8 tank of gas. I will be doing the 160* stat and some 19" drag radials soon to help keep the car consistent at the track.

Real helpful. What are you 12?
Agreed. It didn't seem right to me either, that's why I wanted to get feedback on results others have experienced. I have heard that gains of ~ 50hp are possible with a 2010 A6

I wasn't questioning you. I believe what you were told but I do think you need to question your tuner. Your base tune was low even for a A6 and an average jump for a tune is only 10 or so HP. Maybe 15 max. I would think your car should be around 380 HP or so. Say you are at 450 crank right now with the mods with the 18% drivetrain loss you would be around 369 RWHP. I think the LS3 is rated a little low on the HP too. Hope this makes more sense. I am not a tuner but usually the good tuners say ~18% loss for A6's.

I wasn't trying to be helpful; only providing my feedback.
I was simply laughing at the thought of gaining ~70rwhp from a tune on a stock car and you simply stating "numbers are in" like it's a possibility.

However, why the **** would the tuner give you corrected stock pull, but then uncorrected after the tune pull? Sound like shady business.

being a 2010 means nothing whatsoever, so stop listening to the people that are telling you that.

This is not the forum for teenagers with nothing better to do. This is the Corvette Forum where like-minded enthusiasts come to share knowledge/gain experience. If you need to do otherwise, stick to twitter.
As for the "numbers are in", I am simply stating what the results that were given to me were. Nothing more, nothing less. Reading anything else into it makes me think you must be a regular on the Subaru Impreza forum. Do us a favor, go back. Leave CF to the adults.

I think one issue here is you 1st dynoed after installing mods. The intake possibly reduced your HP/TQ and the tuned got it back, and then some. Even still there is something funny going on. 420/421 is better than my LS3 MN6 did WITH LG long tubes and X-pipe. My numbers are 419/414 but that is SAE corrected (the numbers are higher in Standard mode)
