Werd, 40hp for 600+ dollars? No way in hell I'm doing that, if I shell out money for performance mods it'll be 5 times that amount and it'll be for an all new engine.

yeah but still that's not a huge difference considering how many companies claim 50 hp from the cam change just shows the companies lie

That is why you get the LE III package, dyno results puts the cars right at 425 RWHP with an A4.

Caleb, have you thought about ported and polishing the upper and lower intake manifolds? I heard they really suck stock and this could be causing you not to get the hp increase.

no headers...yet...thats next. the intake is stock. and yeah they do suck and it probably is holding me back...it wouldnt be hard to port the intake manifold, but the intake plenum would be a *****.
