268 wheel HP @ 5900RPM, bone stock.
281 wheel TQ @ 3650RPM

It's fun to stand next to your car when it's going 120MPH @ 6000rpm

See the DIP in the chart where the manifold solenoid switches from long runners to short? That is COOL.

Thanks. With stock A8 exhaust, the TIRE noise was 5x louder than the engine, at speed.
