got my car on the dyno yesterday, it put down 271rwhp and 300tq. Mods are pacesetter longtube headers, magnaflow exhaust, CAI, air foil and TB Bypass. I was pretty happy with the result, what should i expect to gain with a cutout?

 

get a tune and a cut-out and i would guess you would see the 300rwhp mark

 

auto or manual?

 

Are you A4 or M6, either way not too bad of numbers. Forget the cutout I've seen some gain from it some lose HP from it. PCM Tune, 1.6 RR's, E-WP, and ASP 23% UD Pulley should get your 300rwhp mark. Then its cam, heads and juice time

Agreed

 

it is an A4. I have a basic computer tune to delete codes and shift optimized.

 

10 rwhp from the cutout......please get one best 40 dollar mod in the world.

 

The more power you are making at the motor the more you stand to gain from a cutout.

 

Eh, idono, I've seen cam+bolt on guys lose from it and gain from it. It seems to vary from engine to engine. I'd spend money on 'for sure' gains like rockers, tune, E-WP, stuff like that, rather than $40 for a cutout and $50 for it to be welded in, thats almost a E-WP.

Each to his own

Just speaking from experience, I know my setup worked, and I gained 1 mph consistently with it

 

Yea, thats a good gain, but on a relatively stock A4 LT1, I see the money better invested in more worth while mods. Its perhaps like a TB swap, some see 10rwhp some lose 10rwhp, but on a stock car there are better mods to be done.

I would do a mail order tune next, that will bump your numbers up a bit.

 

Those #'s are just about right on for an auto. The 1.6RR's and springs will wake it up too. I also had headers, catback and CAI and gained almost 2 mph in the 1/4 from the 1.6 RR's. I noticed it right away.

i will be gettin a mail order tune whenever i get around to talking to Ion.

 

I say do a few more minor mods then get the tune. 1.6 rockers would be a great addition to what you've got now.
