Very satisfied with stock, but I may make a few slight changes (e.g. tint, tires, clearbra).

Stock sucks - can't wait to make significant alterations to this car (warranty be damned).

Satisfied with stock? Or must you mod in some way?

Why do you say that? What was it about the B5 S4 that made it have some much unrealized potential? Why do you think the B8 has less potential?

It had some really nice flower pedal/vegetable peeler wheels, lol! nice post.
In reality, my B5 S4 was pushing 25+ psi at 3500 RPM, 22+ psi at redline. This supercharger, cannot push more than ~11-12 psi on this block as APR has shown.
There are a number of B5 S4's running 10's to 11's, It will be tough with this one to get low 12's IMO.

actually Un1k, I was bummed because we were told up front that the B8 S4 supercharger can do 21 psi. I was excited as stock boost is only 10.5 to 11 psi. That leaves 10 psi for tuning, cool. Unfortuneatly, this car with supercharger, can only do 11-12 psi per APR. This bums me out, as I was counting on another 8 psi or so for tuning.

This will be a long-term car for me so I really wanted huge gains I guess.

The B5 S4 has a classic look to it and weighs 400+ lbs less than the B8 S4. If you want something real fast AWD, check out a stage 3 or stage 3+ B5 S4. The downside is that is getting to be a pretty old car now (~ 10 years). This car with the sportdiff corners better than my old B5 S4's with the Stasis Tracksport 600/700 suspension and the Stoptech 332 BBK brakes (IMO). Pic of my old car below.
