had my car dyno'ed today on a dynojet. came up with 247hp and about 275tq... had a torque spike on the graph towards the end, but basically was holding down at 270-275 al the way. Thats STD numbers though. Is that good? bad? okay? a little low? dunno how to compare STD and SAE #s. its an A4, 97Z with CAI. thats about it, has the tb coolant bypass but dont think that does much. thanks.

 

hmm hp numbers seem kind of low for a 97.

 

Sounds about right for for a A4 whith your mods. My 96 A4 did 232 and 290 with a cai, catback and thermo so no worries just work from there.

 

It looks like its exactly where it should be for a stock 97 with just a CAI. Autos dyno around 230-240rwhp stock, add 10-15 rwhp for a CAI and your numbers look right on to me.

 

Sounds about right for a CAI LT1.

whoops for some reason i had it in my head that the 97 z28 had an ls1.

 

Hey everyone, thanks for the replies, and yup its good ole LT1 in 97s. had me worried for a bit when i saw the 1st reply

 

That seems kind of low to me. I put out 278.9rwhp SAE (283-284 STD) with just a cai, catback, and 1.6 roller rockers on my 97 A4. I don't think a catback and roller rockers would add 35+ hp.

 

looks ok, maybe a little low

 

Well seems either Im right on or a little low or in between. As long as Im in the vicinity to where Im supposed to be I should be happy. further opinions are still welcome.

 

The Torque looks low to me, the HP is just where it should be for a stock car.

 

My car put down 238 / 275.3 on a dynojet stock, so you're pretty close.

I put down 264/290 with CAI, cat-back and 3.42s.

 

HP looks about right but it seems that your torque is a bit low.

 

I like seeing posts about near stock LT1's. I guess thats pretty close to where it needs to be, with 15 percent drivetrain loss thats what 285hp...which is basically the stock rating...maybe just a tad low...not to sure though...i dont know much about dyno #'s.
