I'm going to be hitting a dyno soon and I know every car is different on a dyno but I want to get some ideas..... I'm thinking approximate ball park of 290's range of hp? I'm trying to achieve 300 rwhp with a stock block. What do you think. Me and a Saleen buddy are making bets of what I'll pull.

I have: stock block A4
cai, shorty headers, gms maf, manual fan, no cats to muffler & lt4km.

If it helps any:
new opti, new plugs, new wires, new coil and new 02's & most parameters I've read with autotap have shown normal reading at idle and wot.

p.s - ok..new to autotap and readings and stuff...my buddy was checking out the readings of my a/f at wot on the freeway and it hit 11 something...so what's the normal breakoff point of a/f reading at wot? Bunker said average is 12-13? Thanks..

Why would that be hard to do with a stock block? With your mods I doubt you Will hit 300rwhp. Maybe 290 at most! Also where did you buy your Zo6 edition Z28? I have been looking for one of those for a while now.

You can see my numbers and dyno chart in my sig. That's with headers, catback and CAI.

I'm an M6, so you can expect to be lower.

I would guess you are somewhere about 275-280 rwhp.
