Default further upgrades after Stasis???

I have a full tuned Stasis S4 with everything. What else have owners
done with boost, intercooler, supercharger, better chip??? Dealer
claims 410 HP, but I think that's a bit overstated by Stasis. Looking to
push over 500 HP.... Biggest bang for the buck???

It's not overstated. 12.3/12.4 second 1/4 miles at 111-113mph are proof enough of that.

Unless you're willing to switch tuners to APR and then buy their new larger supercharger (big $$$$$ whenever it becomes available), then you bought the wrong car.

The car isn't "chipped". The ECU has been re-programmed.

An aftermarket intake might add 10 hp in certain situations, but isn't going to get you close to 500 hp.

If you want the car to be faster, you'll need to go to APR and get their pulley and Stage II software, but then of course you'll be giving up the STaSIS warranty...

The fastest B8 S4s run 11.7-ish 1/4 miles @ 116-118 mph.:

Thanks for the advice... I see you have a Stasis upgrade as well.
How much power are you pulling?

I have no idea, nor do I care. HP/Dyno runs are for bench-racing, which doesn't interest me.

I prefer to let the car's performance do the talking, on both street and track.

Depends on what your goal is. A fun daily driver or a more track capable car?

If you want better handling, I would recommend the following to start:

1) Eurocode Ale Kreuz drivetrain stabilizer - improves steering feel and tie-in
2) Eurocode front/rear sway bars and endlinks - improves/reduces body roll

Then you can look into coilovers but these two items are considered by many a minimum. I'm ordering the sway bars this month.

For power, I would say the following:

1) Eurocode headers + Milltek exhaust - I forget how much hp this adds but many people love this set-up. Check out this review:

2) To get to >500hp, seems the easiest way is APR Stage 3 when it comes out.
