There's more there than 320HP right?
Can anyone tell me how to go about getting the full capability of the engine...I'm talking all 350HP that are under the hood? There's a chip or something in the programming that has to be changed right? I need some guidance.
Thanks!

2002 Z28 A4 NBM- Sadly now demodded :(
Your car has a ECM that uses EEPROM and doesn't use a "chip". Rather it utilizes tuner software (HPTuners or the like) to adjust engine operating parameters and then it's "flashed" to the new settings.
To take advantage of what you have will require the use of a competent tuner utilizing said software. For a stock 99 I wouldn't expect more than 300-310 at the rear wheels after a dyno tune. Maybe not even that.
OTOH, you can gain much more HP/TQ using bolt on mods (CAI, intake manifold, exhaust, etc).

Give or take. An LS1 is an LS1 regardless of installation. Camaro's are chocked down from a Vette by the intake and exhaust. Insofar as intake manifold, camshaft specs and exhaust manifolds are concerned 98 is different from 99-2000 is different from 2001-2. Thats why 2002 is 310hp (the highest rated).
When my 02 was a stocker it put down 306rwhp/323rwt on a DynoJet. But they are all relatively the same at the flywheel.
