Audi S4 vs. Evo VIII

I saw a guy at his shop with a cam, cam gears, turboback exh., CAI, BOV of some sort, and the ecu flash. He only saw 280whp. Shiv's dyno reads really low numbers though.

Steiner you should have Shiv look at your car. He is very knowledgeable about cars. Whatever you do, avoid the dynoflash.

Gosh, I still miss my Evo. Oh well

Sup dude. Around here Shiv is not well liked. The NorCal Evo boards banned him after he insisted on getting personal with other tuners and site sponsors. I've never had any first hand experience with him or his Vishnu shop, but they're about 2 miles from my house in Danville. I live in San Ramon. On the other hand Gruppe-S is across the street from my work and Mike is the most knowledgeable and communicative tuner I've ever met. He makes you feel like the customer and not the other way around like Shiv has been known to do. After Gruppe-S there's WORKS in San Francisco. Nice shop. Nice guys. Great parts. Obscene prices. There's also San Rafael Mitsubishi just across the Golden Gate from SF. They have a state of the art performance shop, $100k AWD dyno, a giant flat screen in the waiting room looping WRC footage, and a direct pipeline into some of the cleanest Ralliart stuff I've ever seen. It takes me two bridges, $6 in tolls, $10 in gas and 1:30 of bumper-to-bumper traffic to get there though.

Definately! Next on the list are HKS 272/272 cams, Walbro 255 fuel pump, and some Greddy 720cc injectors. In the next 3 or 4 months the Evo will no longer be my daily driver. When that happens I'm planning to replace the stock 16G with a 20G IX.

[Igovert500]

nice runs. I would have expected you to pull a bit more, but anything can happen on the freeway. Again, nice runs.

Yeah, I can see Shiv coming across as an ass. He is VERY intelligent, but tends to look down on other tuners (I once brought up the departed John Lingenfelter, and Shiv didn't think that much of his twin turbo vette). He knows his stuff, but he is cocky.

Hope you get some 1/4 mile times with that car. I may or may not be going up around the Sacramento area to get some track times (Sea level).

A little update. I saw my sister-in-law this morning. She has an '05 convertible S4. Not surprisingly, she has no idea WTF it traps at or does in the 1/4 mile. The guy currently boinking her did though. He posts on Audizine.com and was apparently a big reason why she got the car last year. She wanted an M3 vert initially. I told him about my little run and he wasn't surprised by the outcome. He said the current S4 sedan consisently traps at 106mph. Some higher, some lower. The convertible usually traps at about 104mph.

And no...they didn't come in the S4 today, and racing their BMW X3 wouldn't have been worth the gas.

Huh??? I believe it's his wife's sister.

I hope you post some times for the Evo soon Steiner. I'm really curious what it'll run. Do you have the 10.5 hotside turbo on it?

Woops. I was way too tired when I posted that to do some genealogy

Yeah it's my wife's sister. Hahaha. Yeah it's an '05 so the 10.5 hotside came standard. As far as car bowling...err I mean drag racing , one of these days. I'm really more interested in building it up for track days. Most of the NorCal guys are more into that than drag racing and it's sorta rubbed off on me. That's why I'm going with the 20G IX turbo rather than something like a GT3076 or GT35. Rather than a 500whp straightline monster, I want a 400whp track demon with globs of torque all over the place. Those big turbos are a blast after 4,500 RPM's but I would probably grow tired of the lag when just trying to take a spirited drive through the foothills. Check this out...

Incorrect. Anything less than a GT42R is to small.
