Default Her are my dyno numbers

My car is an 00' a4 witha vararam, ported throttle body, ls6 intake, xpipe and corsas. The base line was done with my hand held preditor. This was done on a dyno jet using hp software. I also add 3.42 gears an a 2600 vig. stall.

Well the TQ is messed up, obviously. But the HP seems pretty good. Having fun with the new power?

Default how is the torque mess up just wondering

I also went from 2.73 to a 3.42 gear and I add a 2600 vig stall converter and that's with the stock manifolds so that could play a factor in the torque numbers.

I "think" (not 100% sure) that if the converter isn't locked it will give you a spike in TQ. So I'm assuming they didn't lock your converter and it caused that initial spike in TQ which isn't technically a correct number. I'm not 100% sure though but I'm sure someone will confirm or correct me.

Thats what i thought too. Torque spiked because of the converter. Get it to the track and get the numbers that count!

It seems that the TQ converter was not in the locked mode for the dyno tune at first, contrary to what I thought earlier.

Ask the tunerr to look up the tune and confirm, but have fun with the new found power and regardless it's not bad for a pretty much stock C5



It looks like your stock exhaust manifolds are making a lot of Torque too!

I see what you were saying as to the spike, it almost looks like the graph is inverted or needs to be flipped.

Yes I also agree with the above put a set of HEADERS on it to let it actually breathe!

Not bad for a pretty much stock C5

Thanks,Matt
