      This is the type of thing we like to see. APR has posted their own graphs but they tend to do them in crank horsepower which is, well, pretty annoying. A customer took his car for before and after dyno pulls on a Mustang and went from 297 awhp to 361 awhp with tune only. Impressive? Yes. The car in question is a 2011 Audi S4 with a custom Milltek exhaust and the APR 93 octane tune.

        Great looking car. And I think the power gains look great, but isn't the AFR extremely lean?

        I'm not knowledgeable about Audis, although they seem like great cars. Perhaps, the engines are built to run very lean, although the stock AFR -- while probably very conservative from the factory -- does not seem that way.

        I'm Impressed by the baseline, 297whp is pretty good for a AWD car.

        The new forced imduction Audi's are putting up much better numbers.

        @Sticky,

        Do you have any insight into my question about AFR above?

        Well, I would like to see a slightly better graph but yes it does appear to be a bit lean although it seems to be mostly at redline which could be somewhat of a spike. The thing is with DI you can get away with being a bit lean more than you can with port injection. So is it an aggressive tune? Certainly appears to be.

        Ahh, yes, DI vs PI. Very good point.

        Remember that if the sniffer is placed after the cats it is going to read leaner.

        Oh, and that's the shop that built my 350Z haha small world.

        On my Gti with the APR tune It looked the same with the AFR. Lean near the redline..

        Those are some great numbers for just a tune! you can make that thing pretty quick!

        Just for comparison on the same dyno, FBO no meth 335i. JB3 map 7 iirc. B8 S4 is no joke. My buddy just got one, and are plan was to battle to the death lol, but now I'm a little worried.

        ^ It will be a good race.

        Please get it on vid, AudiBoost vs. BimmerBoost will be badass.

        Even with DI they are over 13.0:1 at WOT across the board post tuning. That is VERY aggressive for a PD blower or any kind of FI. Now imagine the car on the road with real world airflow and watch the A/Fs go .3 to .5 leaner.

        FWIW, I would never market a tune that lean, not even close. Solid gains but too risky for me.

        I will. My buddy has a gopro so hopefully we can get some decent footage. We plan to go stock for stock first. Both cars are 6speed manuals.
