200 hp questions?

I dunno, I really want to see what my motor will get after the car is done and the rtek is tuned, to give a baseline for Bobby's (nop1stons) itb setup? I'm sure that whatever I get, a proper itb setup, full standalone, porting, and good tuning will make more, and I'm shooting for hopefully 150 whp? Ludwig told me not to set my sights on a number, but I think 150 is safe to hope for with an S5 motor, full exhaust, no emissions and a rtek?

You say you plan on getting a Racing Beat header but you haven't said which one. The street header is a bit short for stock ports, and will be worse if you port the exhaust. I would suggest the road race header collected shortly after the flange(will vary depending on your ports and peak RPM) or the AWR header which is built for streetported road race cars.

If the motor is in good condition you should not have a problem breaking 160whp. My 180k mile S4 motor was right around 160whp with stock ecu.
