BIG NEWS on my S4.
 

Well guys, the yellow duck has returned from boot camp (AWE).

I'll have a complete story and a "fitness" report on how well she performs by Monday.
As for now, I'm off for the weekend to test out the new duck.

RE: BIG NEWS on my S4.
 

Just the RS4 kit.
Don't want to replace it often - I won't be launching at the track either.

OKEY DOKEY............

This is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!!!!

Due to crazy weather over the weekend, I didn't take the duck out for a good test. But today, 66 degrees, clear skies, open roads..............

So..............

Ahem............

Well, it's certainly no "duck"! I'm going to have to come up with a new moniker for the yellow beast, 'cause that's what it is - a beast!

I'll start off by telling you guys that it was dynoed at 12 noon, ambient temp = 62 degrees.

It dynoed at 352.0 hp (at the wheels) and 450.6 (at the crank) - peaking at 6750rpm.
The data was corner weight corrected and heat soak corrected to 371.4 hp (at the wheels) and 475.4 hp (at the crank).

The torque was 345.2 ft-lbs (at the wheels) and 441.9 ft-lbs (at the crank) - peaking at 4500rpm.
The torque numbers were corrected to 364.2 ft-lbs (at the wheels) and 466.2 ft-lbs (at the crank).


DAYUUUUUUM!!!!!!!!

Real world driving impression: (see comment in red above)

EDIT: I'll have some real world driving numbers by tonight.

those are some impresive #'s man you need to get to the track with that and see if you can hit mid 11's like that blue one did ;)
