Default 494 rwhp after mods

so i just finished up installing these mods: Long tubes,mid pipe with high flow cats, drop in air filter, flex fuel sensor, stage 2 btr cam 38% fuel lobe, ported factory heads, and custom dyno tune. Car put down 494 through the auto a6 z51 c7. Def need more air coming in up top. Next mods are msd intake, new throttle body, and cold air intake. Hope to see 515-520 na before some boost.

Did you get a baseline before mods by chance?

DOD Delete cam?

If your long term goal is to boost the car then I wouldn't spend money on a CIA and intake manifold. the CIA will get removed with a blower and the intake manifold becomes a marginal need.

Save your money and do the blower.

Have a 2017 A8 and considering the same mods. Did you leave the stock converter and how is the cam working with it? Love the nasty idle but worried my stock converter won't like it. Previous vettes I've messed with were all stick shifts and it didn't matter.
