B8 S4 tuning is catching up.
As a former Audi owner I was snooping around on Audizine and noticed that FBO S4's are now putting out over 400 awhp and running in the high 11s-low 12's.
I'm impressed. http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...tock-E92M3-vid |

I put a nice beating on one on a 20mph roll, he said he has bolt ons and a tune, have no idea what that means as im very well informed on what is out for the S4, but i would assume a tune/pulley/CAI with headers would be a challenge if any to be worth racing.
Short story, i walked the s4 i raced, both auto. But im sure once they have a nice pulley, and tune out for them, there gonna make some nice gains! |

The B8 S4 is definitely a beautiful car... but I see your link, and raise you this one:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...=650145&page=3 lol Either way, I actually test drove one way back in the day and wrote a review about it... no idea where that went though. But it's a badass car. |

Theyre nice cars, but if that 335 was running a popular tune such as a procede jb4 or cobb it would have propably been much closer or even a different outcome.
Tuned 335s pull on m3s, that m3 was stock and beat the 335. Nice runs though, I might even consider the b8 s4 as my next car. |

GIAC just released their stage 1 tune. APR was first to the scene, but their tune was on the conservative side.
GIAC stage 1 flash and AWE intake only, on 91 octane. Not bad at all. (mustang dyno) http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...P-on-91-octane! |

It's got potential but doesn't have the top end yet. The reason they run great 1/4miles are in a nutshell all launch! That thing launches like a bat outta hell! Once you start pushing into the higher speeds, it's running out of air. Know a few local guys that have one done up.
I'm trying to convince my bro-in-law to get one as he's an Audi fanatic. It would be a fun car to run against. |

Some fanboyism detected in this thread. The apr tune for the b8 s4 is pretty strong.
