Am I maxed out? Help! I need more power!
 

I got back from the strip an hour ago and have been contemplating ever since. I love my car but I need more power. I have been told that without completely abandoning my current setup, I am at the limit. What do you guys think?

Currently I am running:

AWE K04 w/GIAC
Neuspeed Borla
S4 WWL's
ITG Hi flow filter
Sachs HD clutch

I have been thinking FMIC but most of the guys I know that have gone that direction ended up with slower ET's.

Do I need to buy the S4 to be happy? I already have so much invested in this car (E codes, Bilstein/Neuspeed, Euro Tails and sides, cross drilled, Mintex, SSBL, the list never ends...).

slower ETs with FMIC? i hightly doubt that, that doesnt make any sense at all.
 

what are S4 wwls? you could get a race program for your K04 or you cuold get the GIAC program for the upgeaded cam shafts

thats what im doing. oh and you could definatly get a exhaust manifold. what are your ET right now?

well i'm going to suggest the APR kit.
 

there you go. about another 50 horses on pump fuel vs what you're set up with right now.

From what I understand
 

the intake charge has a longer path to travel and loses PSI going into the engine. This is from experience with a 1.8T and Buick GN.

and another 4000

theres more lag, but i doubt it would be noticeable, and a lot less power loss due to heak soak.

he didnt mention anything about not wanting to spend money.

cool, he should buy me one too! ;)

I spray the intercooler with nitrous before each run anyway
 

so I don't think heat soak is an issue for the 1/4 mile.

shoot, if thats the case, me too! 8')
