If it can't shift because its studdering off the rev limiter, then it it wont' pick up speed, thus trap higher. I have seen a number of comments on other boards regard the tuning issues folks are having with stalled A6's, esp when trying to make big power. If this is their first effort at it, they are having to work through this from the start. Other shops that have been dealing in vettes and G8's are/have already been through this. I know Intense Racing dealt with some of these issues on their TT G8, but once they figured it out, it ran 10's at almost 130mph. Jetting could be an issue also...he may "think" he's spraying a 200 shot, but due to location of nozzle, jetting/pills etc, it may not be really making that kind of power (although, if his dyno #'s are correct, it looks like he is).

Just speculation here as to what the issues are, when he gets on here himself, he can bring to light what he delt with...
