cam/head rwhp #s
I hate to make one of these threads BUT I'm too excited and can't help but ask for some estimates on rwhp/tq. I planned to go cam only just so the daily driver would sound cool but then I got carried away and decided to have some fun.
Car- 2002 A4 Coupe
Bolt ons-Callaway Honker, LG pros w/high flow cats, borla x-pipe/stingers, underdrive pulley
Cam specs are 238/242, .605/.610, 113+3.
Heads are PRC LS6 stage 2.5s.
A4 w/ 3500-3800 convertor.
Also has a great tuner.

That is a huge cam and high stall for a dally driver. The above estimates look good for peak numbers. I would be curious to see the curves on the dyno chart.

3.15 gear I believe..honestly don't know for sure. I bought the car a week before I went back overseas. I wasn't going to get as optimistic about the numbers as you! I guessed between 420-440rwhp and 400ish tq. (stingy dyno)

I used to daily drive my Camaro. (TRex) The cam I'm putting in the vette is a lot more tame than the specs make it sound.

Will do. Should be finished by mid-april if not sooner. I'm afraid to let her take it to the track. It might post a faster time than my Camaro...
The head/cam/bolt ons is my gift to her for our anniv. though so perhaps that will put her over the edge on letting me finish my 427/turbo project sooner than 2010.
