Default 500 rwhp possible from ls1 through a4?

Someone is selling their vette and claims 500rwhp through an a4 w/3500 stall. the motor is an ls1 with ls6 worked heads, big cam, exhaust, intake, etc. Is this possible? They are saying 10.9 @ 129ish as well on street tires.

With the right setup yes. But dynos will read what ever you want them to. Does he have a slip to back up his pass? Also 3500 is not a big stall for a big cam so I would be cautious.

if that's not a built up trani it won't push 500 for very long.

Pretty unlikely but it is possible.

I have a 99 vert with an A4. I am pushing 505RWHP. I have a ProCharger P1SC1, an RPM Level 6 4L65E tranny, an RMP build stage 3, 3-rib 3.42 diff, and a rebuilt torque tube. I have no problems what so ever with my setup. I will soon be upgrading my engine as well.

10.9 on street tires is tough. Can be done but need good driver and great track. 129 does indicate around 500 rwhp though. Surely the guy has a timeslip or video of the car.
