The stock motor and tranny can handle the extra ponies?

d69chris · 08-08-2010, 12:39 AM

Sounds awesome. Shocked if you get over 500rwhp, stock motor is good up to 600hp or so I'm told.........

Next will be tightening up the rear suspension. With great HP come great wheel hop!

Trailing - Toe - Lower arms, differential bushings, tunnel brace, sub-frame connectors.

Then Coilover shocks and a strut tower brace.

Please stop me, the list will go on for pages!

With those mods, you'll see 500 rwhp even approximately. Add a boost-a-pump and ported heads and you'll be at 550 rwhp.

You need a dragstrip

Camaro54 · 08-09-2010, 06:15 PM

I have an L99. I put LT headers and 3"cats and exhaust all the way back with a CAI and a box tune. That gave me 50 hp. Later I did the maggie with the 3.4 pulley and dyno tuned it and ended up with 510rwhp. With the bigger exhaust I had to pulley down to this size or I would have lost a few ponies. Now I have dropped to a 3.0 pulley but added meth/water injection, fuel voltage booster and 8 rib belt. I'm close to 550rwhp now. I guess next year if the money is there I'll move on to the next step with the cam convertion to LS3 and another dyno tune looking for another 75 - 100 hp.

With the 500 hp you'll want to at least do sway bars and lowering springs. I would suggest spending the money if you can for the coilovers. I just replaced my lowering springs with Pedders coilovers and they are all that. The ebach springs settle after a while and you'll have no adjustments which is huge. Rest of the drivetrain should be fine with the A6 since you won't be DUMPING THE CLUTCH at 4000 rpm. When you have the car dyno tuned make sure they tune the trany. Leave DRIVE MODE alone cause it's nice to be able to just relax and let the trany shift easy and smooth but have the tuner work the MANUAL MODE over to the aggresive side. Also have him turn off the AFM MODE. You will not believe the difference after all that. Practice with your TAP SHIFT. You'll learn to get 20 foot of rubber when it hits 2nd gear with traction control ON. PM me if you have questions.
