Default 2000 Audi A8 engine

Both the S8 and A8 are 4.2, the A8 having only 310 HP, and the S8 with an amazing 360 HP...

I found a chip that increases the A8 by 22 HP, but is there a chip that will bring it to S8 levels (50+ HP) or more?

The S8 has a different muffler and air intake, also I think different camshaft. Just a chip can't do it all!

Yes, lots of headwork and even different gearing. Search forum for differences.

Default S8 has a higher compression ratio, and ...

since HP peaks at 6200 rpm in the A8 versus 7000 rpm in the S8, I'd be very surprised if they use the same cams. For the same reason, the "short length" of the variable length runners of the intake manifold is probably shorter in the S8.

May also require higher octane fuel than we normally see here.
