Yea the clicking is bugging me some, have you had anyone look at it? Im just curious as to what part is making the noise.
So when you got the tune you didnt have any more bucking or surging and you dont have to hold the brake harder when stopped? Is there a lobe to the sound?
I have headers and HFCs and a catback and I think Im around 410 rwhp so another 50 or so would be great and still have the wife enjoy being in the car. Thanks.

The tune made her easy to drive with plenty of power. no problems at the light. She shakes a little but that is kool. Transmission temps are staying normal. Some people suggested getting a stall converter, but after doing some research and noticing that the car was doing fine at stop lights I decided against it. (BTW this only applies to Auto Cars) Speaking of Auto tunes- Make sure your tuner has experience with the A6 and get soem feedback. The A6 can be fun to drive or worthless depending on the tranny tune.
There is a nice lope at idle and I love that. With the NPP I can make her Quiet or shake the world!
With your current setup a cam would compliment it nicely.

The ticking is because of the cam shaft ramp rate on the lobe. it is normal for a cam car to make this sound

El Paso is in the bottom (well not all the way bottom, more west really) left hand corner of TX. NM is only a few miles away and Mexico is only 100 yards from I-10 in some spots. Az is close too.

Well pre-cam my auto is putting out right at 400rwhp through a stalled auto with full intake/exhaust ported FAST and underdrive pulley.
Figure normal cam gains after that depending on radical-ness of said cam
With a ported FAST and that cam I would think he'd easily be at the ~440rwhp level.

I'm at 446hp in an LS2.Jeff
