Just be careful guys. We got gipped when we went. Not only did they not go all the way to 6000, but got the wrong gear. From what Howie says our 1.00 ratio is in our fourth Gear, yet they did it in 5th and 6th gear. With the add ons on the car they said we had less horsepower than a stock LT1. Yeah they said we had about 295 at the rear, and the stock car had 318 at the rear. hmmmm something isn't right with this picture..

They were a rip off... Hey maybe Howie should take all of his new parts off and make his car faster!

Wow that thing is way off if you had 318 stock at the rear. We are talking Rear Wheel Horsepower right? That is more than even LS1's or Vettes.... That thing must be bogus. Unless they got it fixed and 295 is the real reading which would be acceptable for a LT1 after cam and stuff.. That is like 330 ish at the flywheel...

I don't know if I trust them at all (Bosch Dealer)... but I don't know of another place to get it done.

Kewl, a 6th gear dyno pull. Now, why didnt I think of that???!!! I would think that a 320 +/- is about right for a LT1 with cam and bolt-ons ie header/CAI.... Bone stock a M6 LT1 should dyno 250-260, a A4 in the 230-240 range, that is if everyone isnt lieing about the results.

It would be nice to have accurate numbers, so the bench racing would be more legit, but I would go for consistency.
One of the car TV shows did a N20 install on a DRM LS1, and the baseline pull(s) w/exhaust and lid was a whopping 270-280, so maybe they did a 6th gear pull also!
