To get 430rwhp unlocked is gonna be iffy.I got closed to it with a locked converter. You can check my mods and numbers out on my fquick page.

do you mean locked or unlocked?, bc with a heads/cam car you should definitely be around 430-440rwhp....the converter will lower your dyno numbers some... and dont listen to that first guy bc A4 cars make better numbers at the track than M6

You might be able to get 430-440 locked with really good heads, medium 230ish cam, and a FAST intake. I wouldn't listen to these guys that come in here and say they have those numbers unlocked on their happy dyno.

It will run great at the track/road though.

Best of luck hitting those numbers you're looking for unlocked. Last Friday, when Jeremy Formato of FasterProms tuned my car, it hit 396.39 unlocked. It made really nice average hp numbers, though, with a flat torque curve. Pulls hard for a stock cube, n/a street car throughout the rpm range.

Here is the graph from my old white T/A



It was a hand ported LS6 head (1.6 and 2.02 valves) custom cam car. It made that power through a Magnaflow catback and with an LS6 intake. With duals on it and a FAST I bet it would have been close to 460RWHP. Those are locked, but it is definitely do able. I thought it was pretty impressive, especially with over 100k on it. A/F was 13.2.

Let me know if you want to run . My 4L60E has held from 650 - 800RWHP over the last 18 months with no issue.

EDIT: And this dyno is NOT generous, a lot of people have bought cars that come with graphs for 420RWHP for example, then dyno'd at Extreme and been about 10 shy.

That combo went 11.6 at 117 with the 3.23's. I eventually got 4.10's in it but my tranny had a bad input housing that had a crack in it that would cause the car to hit the limiter on the 2-3 shift about 4 times before shifting (I was stubborn and didn't let out). The car still went 11.6's then, but I bet it would have 11.4'd at least without hitting the dang limiter.

Dyno chart's don't mean very much. With H/C/I and a stall it should put you in the 11's.

11.1 with dr's. Trick flow heads, 90\90, custom cam, forged bottom end, and just your normal other bolt on stuff. Built 4l60, Crappy headers..and full exhaust. Made 453 to the wheels... Its do-able...just depends on how well everything works together\how much you want to spend. Bigger isnt always better.. Just remember...a person that tells you to do RESEARCH and lots of it before you mod is your friend.
