2002 Z28 A4 (2.73:1) 15000mi, export version (288HP rated with the V6 one on the left exhaust), Gas 95 octan
mods: CAI, SLP PP air lid, SLP 85mm MAF, bellow, 1.85:1 SLP rocker arm package (spring and ti retainers), SLP Y-pipe and SLP PP dual-dual carback.
Everything installed by LS1tech. The car is pulling really hard and everything is fine. Oil changed on the same day.

The dyno is a Bosch:
The mesure was done on "2" (not D... ), speed 103mph, temp 29°C (85°F) and press 964mbar (725mmHg)... corrected the car pulled only 309rwHP wich appeared to be very low with so much mods...with a 12% driveloss 346HP.
I was waiting something like 335rwHP. Does anybody has an idea of what's wrong?

And a last thing I don't understand: the curve went up to the limiter (6200rpm) and then cut. So my car has 309rwHP@6200rpm

In the United Stated the most popular dyno is a Dynojet dyno. The numbers from your dyno can not be compared to the ones you see posted here. The two dyno calculate rwhp differently.

Can you post a picture of the graph ?

No but you got mail.
BTW a 2000 Vette A4 with dual K&N conical, 80mm TB, 1.85:1 SLP rocker arms, Bassani X-pipe and B&B exhaust put 386rwHP on "D" on the same dyno 3 months ago. [Confused]

Considering the CAI won't dyno, Bellow and
MAF may not yield anything, Y-pipe is questionable
too, I don't think the numbers are that bad.
remember you can't just add up all the numbers that the ads say and figure to have that much
more HP.

Your right though the peak at 6200 is odd

Also A4's have more parasitic loss than
M6. 12% is the T56 loss, A4 is more in the
15-18% range.

Not if the convertor is locked.
