Default Engine Mods for S5's

I'm considering getting an S5 Coupe and I'm wondering
A) How tuneable is the engine (4.2V8)?
B) How much power could I theoretically get with it naturally aspirated?
C) Where are some good resources for modifications?
and
D) What are the best value modifications for gains in HP and/or Torque? (Thinking exhaust, chip software, air filter, etc...)

Thanks!
--Ben

Look around the forum. There are already hundreds of threads on all these subject. You have kinda asked the question: explain the world and give 3 examples.

Yeah, I know. What I DON'T have time for is futzing around looking through a million rich-kid 18-year-olds' threads reading about how sick their rides are and how an S5 can take down an M3. Are all Audi geeks as pretentious as you? Thanks at least for wasting the time to reply to a thread with zero useful information when you could have simply put a link to your favorite aftermarket company, or even put a couple links to some of the "hundreds of threads on all these subject" (good english by the way). I hate you, go kill yourself.

Don't hate---participate. Stop being so lazy and do some research on your own. You might even learn something, if that's even possible. Thank you.

I will admit that sometimes I don't feel like "futzing?" around and just want to ask a question. I should know a lot of the answers I've been here so long but I'm in and out of the Audi

So you want someone else to do your research?? Don't be a tool. If you want to be taken seriously, don't post to an Audi forum then call everyone on that forum "Audi geeks" (including someone actually trying to help you). Go pollute another forum.
