So exhaust and a supercharger is all and you put down some good numbers? That’s epic these cars are impressive for sure

I remember after I got it done my dad's friends all said it wasn't possible their 440s and 427s back in the day couldn't make that blah blah blah. lol They even said my stock LS1 Camaro wouldn't break 14s. With the 2.73s it popped off a 13.5@104 with bald tires. They still tried to doubt the newer cars after that.

That was crank HP.

Everything has to work together. Your engine is an air pump. You can make more power by putting more in or more out, but, put them together and it will surpass either oft those by itself.

Then again, you will have a good chunk of change into the car making it faster. Some will say it's not worth it but I won't be on my death bead saying "I sure wish I hadn't modified my car for more power. I should have planted more begonias."

Kenny, last month I had 21st Century Muscle Cars install Texas Speed headers, along with a dyno tune. I got 373 RWHP and 374 pound feet of torque. I felt a big difference in power, and the A6 tune was amazing. Felt like a different car. My car is a 2006 A6 LS2. Right now it is back at 21st Century for a cam swap, and balancer replacement!

TSP is a give and take, setup. Compared to American Racing; in the the same size, they give up quite a bit down low, make more in the 3500-4800 range, then make the same passed that all the way to peak. They have shitty ground clearance and many people go through multiple o2 sensors because their placement is way too far back. Plus, the slip fit connections will leak at some point. They also have a different sound compared to American Racing.

Every under car photo I've seen of the TSP headers shows the driver's side hanging low and there are numerous complaints about ground clearance with them. Kooks, ARH or Stainless for me when the time comes (probably Kooks).


Side shot of TSP, they hang low.

Speed bump encounter, drivers side header damage.
