Default Happy with my results

I took my car to horsepoweraddicts in deleware a few days ago and had the following work done:

Kooks 1 3/4 with catted x-pipe
Halltech CAI
160 degree tstat
Dyno Tune

Josh is really nice guy and he took great care of my car. My numbers ended up being 413.58 hp and 411.54 torque. We didn't do a before run.

My car is a 2010 GS A6. My wife and I were out last night and we were both very impressed with the difference over stock.

they really mean nothing without a before, and if you would have, you'd be like the others screeming "what happend? my #'s are low" since he was tuning it anyway he should have tuned it before to show you what your 3 grand got you. you would have been impressed with just a tune.

I've seen auto LS3's dyno in the 370's-ish rwhp so you saw some nice gains for headers/CAI/tune. If they also did the A6 trans tune(remove or reduce torque management, increase shift firmness, reduce shift time etc) as well it probably feels like a different car!

I think I saw a pic of your car the other day from in there. I took mine in for a Cam install and head work (broken bolt extraction) in January. Put 415 to the wheels, 402tq. Josh is a hell of a nice guy. I may go back for a clutch soon if I decide not to tackle it.

Seems like a nice gain to me.

Just removing TM, firming shifts and leaning the engine will have a major SOP improvement. With Superbee, Bullets and an Intune, the improvement was amazing on my '13 A6. The Halltech and tune definitely leaned the engine and the removal of TM and firming the shifts makes the car feel like it should. For $1800 all in, I'm very pleased. The sound of the Bullets is the cherry on the cake. Glad you're happy.

I just picked up a 06' LS2, took it to Innovative Motor Works in Carlisle, PA for a baseline before I start to do any major moods. The car came with a Bola exhaust and BBK DAI and I got 350whp/357ft-lbs. This is without tuning it. FYI, they have a m Mustang dyno. I don't know if to expect more for these basic mode and I'm sure a tune would help but I will wait until I get new headers and a ported intake.

I had my shop install the Bullets. The rest of the stuff took less than an hour, and I was taking my time. Had installed a CAI and Diablo Predator tune on the '06, so not much new ground to learn.
