Al and the gang had my car all strapped down and ready to go when I arrived Friday, and he got right to it.

4 runs total, with the first run being the best. It's AMAZING what heat-soak does to the 2.7Ts numbers - the last run showed just 148AWHP

196 AWHP translates to between 260 and 280 CHP, depending on whose correction factor you believe. The car is rated at 265 CHP, so my car seems to run just about right, or a bit better.

It was also VERY cool to watch, if deafeningly loud. With my stock exhaust, the loudest sound is the wheels agains the rollers, but that might have to be rectified by an RS 6 sound enhancing exhaust one of these days.

Ed of "Ed's A6Q now allroad" fame showed up to watch and talk cars, which was fun (thanks, man). His allroad sounds AWESOME with that exhaust, so thanks to him, I now get to pine for yet MORE money-eating mods! ;-)

What's interesting to me is that the HP numbers bear out what my seat-of-the-pants impression was of the S-line's rated additional 15HP: It feels like more. My car is noticeably quicker than my wife's "standard" 2.7T. It's also "Bluer", but that's another story altogether. ;-)

Funny comment made by Scott during tech-check at ABCC Saturday morning - "What color do I write down on this sheet? "Blilver???" LOL!

 

The world can now resume its spinning.

 

Hey, at least I'm not obessing about cleaning the last spec of atomic dust from my engine cover!

 

Nice, I was thinking of doing a pull with the might A8 over there

 

I'm not either. I already got it!

 

that's about right.. a stock 2.7T in the S4 puts down around 188?

 

Good (wo)man!

 

...ambient temp, gearing, etc.

Shop wasn't sure how to account for 4th gear in a Tiptronic trans.

No matter, really - she's fairly strong. Feels more like the "chipped" cars I've ridden in than it does my old car or my wife's.

 

..that the stock S4 comes in around 175 awhp on this dyno:

and that the correction factor should be 1.4

(multiply AWHP x 1.4 to get CHP) That puts my car @ 274.4 HP.
