S8 should be software if anything, somebody dyno

the HP graphs show the same HP, just that the S6 levels off where the S8 climbs to 450

I'm saying somebody should dyno their S6 to see if it really is 420hp

lie I said the only difference in the 2 is software, the S6 hp graph levels off at 420hp. Maybe it really has 450? If any company is making a software flash for these cars you shouldn't have a problem matching the S8 hp output. Or maybe just a flash to remove the limiter on the S6 peak hp output, if it really exists. I don't think any company uses solder in chips anymore though.

Love the S6

450 is very possible with exhaust and mild software...

Trying to get much more than that will require forced induction.

S6's 435 bhp is only less than 3.5% than the S8's 450 bhp while the torque numbers are the same...

Aarononymous' statement on the S6 and S8 engines and the dyno charts is correct. The S6 is "held" back for marketing purposes and produces similar output numbers to the S8's powerplant.

Re: Found this link. Looks like the chip is available.

guys, FYI, the S6 makes 435hp, according to the V10FSI SSP the difference is the intake manifold. the S8 uses a dual path intake manifold. not sure how to post a PDF, so I'd be glad to email it if anyone would like to share it.
