Thank you.

So, based on that article, roller rockers aren't considered a bolt on. I was under the impression that they were, not that it really matters. I'm gonna have to get one of those Power Programmers.

i was talking about shon's car. I know there are others who are close to the numbers hes putting down.
Bolt ons would be everything but heads and cam. Some say that blowers or n2o would be a bolt on but i dont.

With the same mods, I had ramshorn manifolds with duals, ran 13.18 @102, 283 rwhp,313 tq. I fabbed up some shorties from parts, had them ceramic coated and threw on a dr. gass x pipe and picked up 17 rwhp, 17 tq. Put me at 300rwhp-330tq. got me 12.97 @ 104. It was dyno'd before and after on the same dynojet.

'97's supposedly had about 5cfm more in the heads, and with a new fuel pump and CAI I put down 280rwhp at a dyno day with 20+ witnesses. No headers, cam, rockers, etc....

Honestly I'd be shocked if a M6 can't break 300rwhp with just headers and cat back.

Poo on the power programmer. When my car was a stock A4 with 2.73s, the power programmer slowed the car down 3 tenths. I took it off and then we loaded it to my buddys A4 with 3.23s. We did it at the track so he made back to back passes as well. Instant 3 tenths slower. It made it real hard to sell it to him then, lol!

Yeah, I was just kidding around about the power programmer. It's kinda crazy what they cost in comparison to an actual tune.

From: angier; find it
ran 9.3xx in 1/8th bone stock....put bbk shortie headers with matching y-pipe plus lca...no cai or nothing...the catback exhaust from the factor is 3 in on my 94...but anyways I ran an 8.69 after install two months later on the exact same tires. best $600 ive ever spent!

if I would have done the intake probably 8.6x...but any ways

if your going to the track...lca+headers+CAI+TIRES+stall= low low low 8.0's throw in a cam 7.6-7.8


good luck,

Pride

With the exception of some of the SS stuff, I thought the factory exhausts were 2.75".
