cool I am just surprised it comes out the factory like that

Why? Thats what knock sensors are for.

And, incidentally, why aftermarket tuning a modern NA motor is generally a waste of time.

well for me its more about the exercise and I want too get my car running at its optimum and would also like too make the drive a bit more aggressive too me it feels like the torque monitoring is reigning in this big beast quite a bit.

I doubt it.

really? for a car that has 255kw stock you would think that in first and second gear going WOT would get a much more aggressive response from that beast my old 89 model BMW 325is which was 155kw you would constantly have too baby the throttle and be very careful on when you went WOT or have the car facing the wrong direction, now I know you cant really compare a quattro vs a rwd BMW but I would have thought that responsiveness of the motor would be much stronger in the v8?

I doubt it also, do a log of block 20 on WOT along with the throttle position (not pedal) and that will tell you everything.

yup you were right, so far throttle plate angle and pedal position do line up but that was for a 3rd gear 2000rpm too red line run so will do some 1st gear 2nd gear pulls and see what the throttle/pedal and load is doing. you were also right about the timing getting a couple of degrees timing pull.

You might be able to get a few degrees if you richen the mix a bit.

I doubt you'll pick up much HP though.

You'll need a dyno for sure (to measure the very slight increases), otherwise you'll just be guessing.

They do pick up power with a richer mixture.

S4 does respond to tuning, better than the RS4.  Filter, full exhaust, map gives a good gain.  Then move onto inlet.

Hi Rick
