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.

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:

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.

What does an intake and tune only 335 put down on a mustang dyno, on 91 octane?

That is a high baseline for a dynojet. The delta is more important

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)

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.

They can catch up all they want but they will never have the aesthetics on the outside compared to a BMW

Really? I think the S4 is the better looking car lol

And 118 mph traps are definitely not just because of Quattro

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