Thread: 2002 GTP vs. 2002 audi S4

From a roll he pulled about a car lenght on me pretty quick but didnt go much further than that. Anybody have any suggestions as to what would help me take him down a notch? Im getting ready to put on a LS1 throttle body, 3.5 pulley and im having it tuned on the dyno by a local shop. Will those be enough?

That thing is still a V8...gonna be hard to beat him down low because of the Quattro AWD and the high revving motor...

My tips? Get rid of that crap PCM and get a good tune...a LS1 TB is overkill, you don't need one until a big cam IMO. Have that shop tune it good after you get an intercooler. Even a cheap Short Stack will let you be able to drop to a 3.2" knock free...and you should nost him then

the 2002 s4 isnt a v8 its a 2.7 turbo, they didnt have v8's until the 2003's.... you'll should beat him...its makes about 250hp and 258tq at the crank so i think you'll take him...run him from a roll, if you have the 3.5 on tuned and knock free you should eat him alive....

And i was going to get an intercooler or meth injection down the road but im not sure which one i should get? Any suggestions on intercooler or meth injection?

Meth is A LOT cheaper but the intercooler is more consistent if your not good with a tuner...If you don't have much to spend and you know a good tuning source, spring for 100% Meth...

Right...but the V8 was also a option. Trust me as my next car is going to be a '08 RS4. IIRC they are still pretty quick regardless, especially with mods...letting a turbo breathe and having it tuned makes mucho power. And not sure about eating him alive but he would win. They ain't slouches
