Rwhp Poll Does This Suck

I dyno'd 262RWHP on my 95 TA is that very bad I am pretty much stock except for CAI and Electric water pump. What do you guys think of this number? What else should I do to get some HP? What do you think I could do in the 1/4

You're numbers look fine, is your car an M6 or an A4? I'd add a catback and get another ~10 rwhp next.

Did you get a A/F to see if you're running rich at WOT like our cars usually do?

Tuning even on a near stock motor can work wonders, but those numbers do sound pretty ok, not the highest, but they're ok. What's your car trap at in the 1/4?

Since the stock car is rated at 275 crank, I'd hardly call that suck. Your probably around 295 HP or so which isn't bad.

What type of cam should I go with and do I have to pull the heads to install the cam? Is it very much work to put in a cam?
