Somebody at the S6 forum dyno'd a S6 with the the same mustang dyno and he got 359awhp and 368awft-lbs so the tune with 349awhp and 324ft-lbs is pretty close, of course you can get way more by tuning that V8T, but if tuning is not your thing and you'd rather spend the extra 20k prepared to move to the right lane when the A7 behind you is about to pass and you are doing the limited 155mph (closed course and autobahns only no law breakers here Mr. DA)

It was only a matter of time before the 3.0T showed its true colours
Keep in mind though, Similarly equipped S7 vs A7 is only about $13k premium
Unless you're going to order a bare bones A7, which i don't think anyone really does

NICE HP gains, so much extra left in that engine

And you are right the difference is 13-14k because the prestige (or the Premium S-line in Canada) is the only comparable A7 via equipment.

Do not get my wrong if I had not gotten an A7 I would get a S7 for sure or even a RS7 when it is ready, but now that I got my car I am going to keep it for years (I am not going to pay taxes again and trade in a car and being hit by depreciation for a car I had owned for only 5 months) BUT if I had a S7 I would definitely tune it, and I know you agree with me otherwise you wouldn't be "waiting for 520hp"

Yes, i'd like to find the upper limits of my S7's engine too
ABT's tune for the S7 is 397 kW (540 HP), 680 Nm
I'm worried about the S Tronic handling all that torque though. Don't want to be the guinea pig
Especially when activating Launch Mode!

I think it's amazing that you got the first A7 tune we've seen documented on video. That 100 Octane Run is impressive

just spoke with giac tune is 1500 and if for some reason when you get your car serviced and they reflash back to stock giac will flash again to the tune you just pay for shipping. flash is 1500. and your ecu has to be sent in to giac. can't wait to send mine in, giac prefers that a dealer remove and send it in but i believe you can take it out and send it in yourself too.
