All we have to go on, at this point are the performance gains seen in the C6 3.0t and the B8 S4 3.0t. If we get the same lift, that's a best guess as to where a chipped C7 will net out. I'm speculating of course :-)

I love speculation!
I never chipped my B8 S4, but did a JB3 to my 335i, it was unreal! Dinan has a chip for the new 6 series, I'm seriously debating, but the $3.5k price tag needs to come down once they have some competition. However the 101hp/133tq gains make me quiver.

I know what you mean about "claimed" power/torque (after all, they are trying to entice you in). Hence I've had my cars checked out independently after remaps, and more recently, purchased a vbox lite to measure acceleration, g, fuel flow etc etc. If I get another chance in the S6... will try it.

First of all, speculating is fun :-). But in all seriousness, why would Audi put the 8-speed in the s8 if the dsg could handle the power... I don't have any data to back it up, and I think it's clear we are speculating at this point. We won't know for several months.
I believe a chipped 3.0t will do 0-60 in 4.3-4.5. Thats close enough to the stock s6 that if it never becomes possible to chip the s6, there is not enough difference for me to make the leap.... That's from a purely performance angle. The dsg is a very cool tranny and there are some other really nice features to consider.

Stasis is working out the prototype expecting it our mid next year.
