Worth modding?

As title really guys, are these worth modding for the gains and if so, what are the best options? For instance, would a stage 2 make much of a difference to real world power figures or are they exaggerated?

Cheers.

It's na so gains going to be minimal.

not the case on the V10

the engine is identical to the LP560 but is throttle limited.

so a remap will give you 100% of throttle and unleash another 50PS or so.

Stock is 525PS ... remap will give you c.580PS

high flow filters and a Capristo will complete the transformation.

a stock V10 sounds like a mini metro.

put a Capristo on it and it sounds like a Lambo

50PS is minimal!! Not likely lobbing a stage two on an RS6 of your choice :-)

agree,but have dragged a stock V10 against a modded V10, and past 5krpm it walks away

Interesting mate thanks. Where is best to go, Mrc?
You're right about the noise too, it's a little disappointing unless your nailing it.

I carried out the mods on a GT owners cars here and it makes a huge difference!

Capristo, remap and a set of air filters (carbon clean depending on mileage) completely transform the car!

Cheers Ricky

612ps/ 606nm is the outcome :)

The video doesn't capture the true exhaust note properly. It is deafeningly loud :)
