Default Any US SQ5 owners hit up a dyno yet?

The butt dyno makes the SQ seems like it has much more than just 20+ HP and torque than the S4.
Maybe it is the gearing?

According to tech specs 2nd gear in the SQ is 3.143 compared with my S4 2nd gear of 2.238. Even with the SQ's numerically lower final drive it should have more available torque at the wheels in 2nd. This is assuming tech specs are correct. AuidUSA website puts the SQ's final drive at 3.76 compared to Auidworld tech specs of 3.076..typo on one of them for sure but a big difference...

I've been looking for the same, but haven't come across anyone doing so yet. Over on Audizine, there are a few 3.0Ts that have been dyno'd stock and after tuning (APR or GIAC) that show some pretty impressive results -- almost 400hP and 12.6 sec 1/4 miles on an otherwise stock 3.0T... but nothing on the SQ5 yet.

Supposedly the 3.0T and SQ5 engines are identical other than tuning, so maybe those dyno plots give some amount of useful info, but I'd like to see results from an actual SQ5.

Some quick calculations leads me to believe it is a 3.076 final drive and a 4.714 first gear
Actual speed at 3000 RPM
1st = 17 MPH
2nd = 26 MPH
3rd = 39 MPH
4th = 50 MPH

So this matches the tech specs on Audiworld and the Audiusa website final drive info appears to have the typo.

So in 2nd gear there is about 525 lb-ft more torque available to the axles in the SQ5.

In many of the reviews of the SQ5 they mentioned different internal parts on the SQ5 variant of the 3.0L motor...I don't believe it is just a tune.

the Q5 3.0T that ran a 12.6 also had an intake and exhaust. but to your point, those aren't really go FAST parts.

Bump. Anyone seen a dyno plot? I can tell power carries pretty well up top but I'd like to see the actual plot.
