Also, the dyno dynamics... Does that measure wheel horsepower or crank horsepower? If it's crank you should do an Arthur test (official name) so we can see if it's really that dire (-80hp) or if the car just didn't like the dyno.

I can tell you that those crank numbers are like a stock b7 s4 and to cover 5000 rpms in third would take the s4 about 10 seconds whereas it takes the rs4 a little over 8
It measures wheel hp (which came out at 258), then I *think* they measure coasting deceleration to calculate drivetrain losses to then arrive at a flywheel figure. I'll read up and try an Arthur test :)

Gotcha.

Just a WOT rip through third gear on a flat road with the on board DIS stopwatch running and video the speedo and tacho so we can see how long it takes for you to go from 3000-8000 rpm.

when you get your x-pipe done dont suppose i could have a listen to it could i?thinking of doing it but im unsure if il like the sound or not.
