Every car is different, and dyno numbers can be misleading.

Get it to the track.

Everything is fixed, im about to take it to the body shop to get painted before I decide to dyno again. Im driving around with no carpet and center console . The bodyshop im going to is going to paint it black, put new carpet I already have, and my two nice leather racing bucket seats. So i'll see what happens, I have a feeling i'll definatley get 280+ this time. She did me proud last night with that z28 . Thanks guys.

I think you're being optimistic.

I totally did not expect it to be as strong as it was stock, I figured it would've been 240, even with the catback. Although it had an air leak at the intake elbow which caused it to run lean (14:1) so that's why my car has always run such strong quarter mile times for stock. It's going to run even stronger now though!
14:1 is rich, not lean

I also think that's optimistic.

Looks like we have very similar setups, but I'm a M6. If I were you, I wouldn't look to make much more rwhp than what's in my sig, especially considering you are an A4. BTW, I also have the TB Bypass and Descreened MAF.

Actually, it's lean.

Most guys try to stay around 13:1

Remember, it's the AIR:FUEL ratio.

i thought the Stoicheometric Air: Fuel ratio was 14.7:1? If he's running 14:1, less air per fuel, so it's rich right? I could be wrong tho. I'm only a newbie. Anyway, I hope ya get everything straightened up Pasky. Can't wait to see that thing, if we can ever get a Texas area thirdgen meet!

Its definatley fixed, no way I could have beaten that Ls1 from a roll with 234 rwhp, once it is out of the paint shop i'll go dyno again and hopefully see what I expected.

Yes, stoicheometric is 14.7:1, but that's not what's used at Wide Open Throttle.

I think the stoicheometric a/f is only used at idle and partial throttle.

Man..... Its lean! 14.7 is perfect A/F ratio for BURNING not power, you won't make any power at 14.7:1 A/F & you will prolly lean out & blow something up, good A/F at WOT is around 12.5-13.1 depending on mods & cam etc.... That also varies, try keeping her richer in the peak TQ band & lean out at top end, no more then 13.1 though, well sometimes you might make more power going leaner but thats ussually not the case or just not worth it.
