Default Flash Questions for you guys,

I have been reading about the Revo flash and seen how many of you have been bashing the program. This lead me to have several questions/comments.

I think you guys are too worried about "peak" horse power. I know from experience, with the 225hp TT, that peak hp was not the main reason for my flash. The low-end and mid-range power and response was the main reason. I know that NA engines are dbw and thus they have throttle lag because all Audi programs are conservative no matter what car because it is still a luxury car.

Also, do you think that Audi would make a car that is already "maxed" out with no failsafe or room for tolerance for differences in cars. It is know that not every car will make the same HP. The term "factory freaks". Manufactures produce cars using a form of standard deviation for their production to all for differences in product process.

My last point. Do you think that manufacturers make cars that pass emissions that are "Maxed" out, performance wise? Also, is the RS4 cleared for California Emissions? If so, that means that there is a lot of room for improvement.

I am not attacking anyone, I am not an expert on the RS4, and I would love to hear your comments. I am interested in getting an RS4 at some point this coming year, so I would love more info on this. Because I was hopping that with the Revo flash, dp's, cat-back, and intake that I could be close to 450-460hp.

Default Agreed...

There most definitely has to be some room for improvement. California Air Resource Board is very strict, so I believe Ca. emissions vehicles will benefit the most... I will be trying it out in the next few weeks to see how it is. From what I hear, they have spent a ton of time dialing in a program for the RS4. I'll post results after I have had time to evaluate the software.

Default I have been told all US cars are the same...

The California or Northeast emission certifications are costly processes so it was performed only as necessary. Perhaps someone here can confirm or refute that information.

Default OK then.

That was the response I expected from you... Glad you came through! Good job.

Default Chipping any NA car will not result in such great gains as with turbo cars.

Default I'd take 20-25HP as advertised but don't want to be a pioneer, need more feedback

I haven't heard of anybody's experience with the software yet.

Default that's a really impressive and very linear increase for a naturally aspirated car

usually, you won't see much of an increase down low but will see quite a bit of increase in mid-range or top end power

seems too good...
