returned car major unlisted problems

WOW 4.10's is alot of gear for an A4 unless you're turning 6500 rpm !
Anyway with the right tune I would say your somewhere North of 400 HP.

BTW Welcome and sounds like you have one BAD A$$ Ride

Like Craig said, It seems usually head/cam/bolt ons on an LT1 can put down around 400-425 horse with a tune...

how do you plan on doing the tuning?

LT4 Hot Cam conversion is good for 429 at the flywheel. Add about 25 to 40 for the headers, a few more for a good tune and you have a very respectable ride. You may get 10 on the exhaust. I would guess 460 at the fly wheel.

By the way, Welcome to the Source. Please go to the new member forum and make a post there too.

yeah I thought the exact same thing which is why I took a trip to the junkyard this weekend to pick up a T56. I dont plan on putting it on till next winter however as long as the the A4 holds up. The previous owner said the gears were on the car when he bought it, but it has never been properly set up for them so I expect the tranny to give up at any time.

MMMM t56. I love the tranny. sounds like a pretty mean ride. good luck with all that

A buddie of mine runs a shop here in town and has LT1 edit I am hoping to get the shifting and speedo issues worked out with that. there are a couple of small things I need to get thrown together before I do a full dyno tune. The car still has the stock TB which was smeems a little odd to me for some of the other mods that were done, I want to get some 30# injectors on it, and replace the stock ignition with the Malory Hyfire that I ordered today.
