We had four stage 2 cars get together for a dyno today. Testing was done on a Mustang AWD at PRT Performance in Lewisville, TX. First, let me say, a dyno is a tool, and a very imperfect one if not used correctly. In general, I don’t put a lot of weight into it unless it is the same car, same dyno, and there is a good baseline. In this case, we don’t have all that, so take it for what you want. I think there are a few things you can take from this, but at the end of the day, it was four different cars that were all slightly different.
Today was the coolest day we have had in DFW in about 6 months. 60 degrees, 82% humidity, and 30.1 barometer. DA was around 1200. Results shown are corrected numbers. All four cars made 3 passes. Highest is shown. First two runs were pretty close, and the last run on all four cars dropped 5-10 AWHP (none of the cars had coolant systems). All cars on 93 octane gas and tunes.
Milk242: 2014 S4 DSG, GIAC V1 stage 2, AWE pulley, Eurocode intake, GIAC DSG tune
308 AWHP, 315 AWTQ
Timing was really low. Topped out at 11 degrees with 2-3 degrees being pulled at higher RPM’s.

kappax12: 2014 S5 DSG, GIAC V2 stage 2, AWE pulley, Roc-Euro intake
358 AWHP, 330 AWTQ
Timing was up to 17-18 degrees, but was pulling 5-6 degrees up top.

Spawn350: 2014 S4 DSG, Revo stage 2, AWE pulley, Eurocode intake, Revo DSG tune
358 AWHP, 345 AWTQ
Timing was high at 21-22 degrees max, and it was not pulling ANY timing on any runs (not sure why it was not making more power).

jran76: 2012 S4 DSG, APR stage 2, APR pulley, CTS intake, AWE exhaust (my exhaust has a blown center muffler right now that may be restricting flow a little).
349 AWHP, 335 AWTQ
Timing was up to 17-18 degrees, with 2-3 degrees being pulled.

Conclusions:
**GIAC V1 on the 2014 is a joke
**GIAC V2 is a big improvement
**Revo on the 2014 has the highest timing values, and none being pulled (aggressive for sure, unsafe, I don’t know…)
**My APR car is a little low, and my times at the strip bare this out too. The blown AWE exhaust is not helping. I have a new muffler on the was from AWE and it will be installed next week. I also have an AMS cooling kit that will go on soon, with a follow up dyno.
**The Revo DSG tune allows the car to avoid the kick down switch altogether, stock and GIAC do not.
