Those mods are essential to get to 500hp.
I suspect their benefit on a supercharged car will be greater than on a stock vehicle.

Some thing might be wrong with the RS4...
When I ran the AWE car, the end result was the same, but it didn't immediately pull on me like that. You mentioned the RS4 has the Miltek, do you know if he capped the vacuum lines? The reason I ask is b/c my car was having issues and that was the culprit.
BTW, what gear and rpm were you at when you started that might explain what happend.
Congrats on an awesome setup, now do a RS4 body conversion and I'll be drooling ;-)

The only thing wrong with the RS4 is the driver...
Did you hear the lack of rpm? If the RS4 driver had started off at 5k it would have been a different race altogether. The end result, the S4 winning, may have been the same but it would have been much closer.

Having run against the AWE car, I could tell something wasn't right, but...
the end result would still be the same :-(
I stuck with the AWE car for about 1000-1500 rpm then it just started walking. We had to shut down after that and only did 3rd gear runs, but I can't imagine there being much of a difference.
I would have liked to try a 2nd gear run with both cars over 5000 rpm. This way I could see how the S/C pulls vs the RS4's sweet spot.
I'm sure I'll get the opportunity again.

It was just a 3rd gear pull. We were both in 3rd gear around 2300rpm.
We just wanted to do a single gear pull with no shifts to take driver out of the equation. We'll have different scenarios on video soon
