Default Stock S4 with just an AMS chip?

Just had AMS chip put in. First impressions: The car does feel more "sporty/agressive", however it doesn't feel like 60+ hp was gained. On the highway it is pretty impressive.

Is the addition of a chip (AMS, GIAC ect.) that dramatic of a difference, vs. a bone stock S4. I've been told it's night and day...

Default 2nd. You may not "feel" 60+ hp, but you will feel the ~100 lb/ft torque gain - otherwise, something

is seriously wrong with your car. Make sure your TBB and DVs are in good order. Pressure test. Trust me, it is a night and day difference.

What does a 60hp gain feels like vs. a 80hp gain?

Default So the AMS chip yields 60hp/ 100lb/ft, with no other mods?

Maybe it's the cars weight that is throwing me off. I'm coming from a lightly modded GTi VR6.

Is this done via VAG COM, or is it just a matter of upgrading the throttle body boots.

So you are saying you did not feel a ~25% difference?
