I have a similar setup with the headers, vararam, plus tuning. I also have 3.42 gears. Never got it on the dyno, but based on the only dyno that counts, the drag strip, the combo is extremely effective. The A4s really don't show well on the dyno anyhow, just good for tuning and assessment of mods.

My buddy has similar add ons,,Vararam,long tubes,high flows,X-pipe and Borla stingers and a tune.At the the Valvoline dyno display he pumped out about 330 hp and 350s torque. The odd thing was my Stock FRC (only a Blackwing and Corsa touring mufflers) out horse powered him(best of 338.9) but all of his pulls out torqued my best of 345.9,, all of his tq #s were350 or better. Go figure!!

same setup i ran a 12.666 oct 06 at 108mph first run on a dragstrip for me and both shifts 1 to 2 anmd 2 to 3 i hit rev limiter. let the time slip do the talking instead of the dyno that way you wont embarass yourself with numbers you think you have to live up to

You are about 315-320 RWHP on a dynojet.

I don't want to hijack this post, but it is so close to what I was wondering. I was wondering hp or rwhp, estimated quarter mile times for a 2000 6MN, Vararam intake, tune, Borla exhaust. Just bought the car, nothing said about the cats. For gear...still getting info on the car, but it runs 1800rpm at 80mph in 6th. If I should have posted a new post, let me know, I'm new to this forum thing. Thanks!

Look at my sig for a similar setup with a decent launch in decent air(+1200 ft density altitude) but a slightly lighter raceweight(i'm only 170lbs plus the hardtop was the lightest of the c5s)
