Eh, I'm pretty disapointed. Supposidly that dyno reads pretty low though, so I'm not too concerned. I'm trying to make it to the track one of these days but its been raining non-stop down here.

What we are saying is, a stock Lt1, single cat is rated at the crank by the MFGR at around 275 hp. Since parasitic drag can reduce the amount of that power that reaches the drive wheels from anywhere between 14-20 HP on an A4 and 3-17 on an M6, the actual numbers to the rear are obviously less---and to top it off, the numbers you would actually realize from a chassis dyno could also vary from pull to pull depending on the conditions.JMHO

So really they can have about 250 to the wheels.
