Does anyone have any HP data from a G-Tech pro on a bone stock A4?
I'm going to start upgrading soon, and I want to make sure I'm making "normal" power and establish a baseline. Once I have a repeatable baseline I'll be able to document gains from URS4's intake mods. I'm still looking for a suitable strip of road to use as my standard test run, but the few passes I've made come out around 135HP corrected for atmospheric conditions using the calculator at this link:

I used 5560lb as the vehicle weight. The number comes from the scales at the local transfer station (3360lb + me), which correlates well with URS4's 3300lb (I have about 60lb of stereo equipment in the car.
I only ran through 2nd gear since I couldn't find a suitable straight to go any faster. Drag would probably be too high in 3rd and above anyway.
135 seems a bit low for a 172hp engine. That would mean the driveline loss is about 20% which seems high. Anyone have any numbers to compare?
