weak showing

I just dynoed the car with the mods in my sig. and it put 267.1 RWHP and 252.2 RWTQ through a A4. Is it just me or that a little low?

Even without a tune there should be more than that. Even with a crappy stall you should have more than that.

Pretty low considering the CC503 cam. Should be well over 300RWHP with that setup. Shorties are hurting too, get mids at a minimum or LT's. I would guess ideal would be about 315-320 RWHP.

I don't think you could have gone with a weaker exhaust setup... Thats where I would say you are losing a majority of your power. That and a tune would probably help you alot, what was your a/f ratio on the dyno?

I would agree your exhaust could use some upgrading. Maybe you could post your dyno sheet as well, it may help us to give you some better ideas of what is going on.

The flowmaster and the cats are probably hurting you. Take it to the track and see what it does before worrying too much, because thats what truly matters.

Got any A/F ratio numbers or anything, the tune could be off? Knock retard maybe? Was it a Mustang dyno, if it was reading on the conservative side even for a Mustang Dyno that could explain some of it as well?
