Hate to call you out, but even at 3800 lbs or whatever the car weighs, your not making 400hp with a 104 mph trap speed.

Time looks good for hte trap speed though!

Your BMW is lighter, and does not have AWD. AWD if you read in somebody elses post, is a lot of drivetrain loss compared to RWD. I dynoed at 273 HP and trapped at 108, so what does that prove? Nothing. It is very possible to have over 400 crank HP and trap 104. Most of his time is won on his incredible 60ft. I also think the less you spin off the line, the lower the trap speed, but that is just my experience.

That is a SWEET A4 you have there. I love the looks, and am very impressed by the performance. Keep up the good work.

Ya I'm pretty sure ur making almost 400chp but the drive loss for awd isn't 25%. Its more like 17 for awd manual and around 20 for auto awd.
