Another quick video of the S5 4.2L Supercharged. So far the kit has been running great and impresses everyone I"ve taken for a ride. Turn up the sound and listen as my buddy enjoys his ride.

Got a few passes in this weekend.

12.6@ 112 = bad launch and slow shifts. It will get better.
There’s much more in it. Go with JHM guys next time and make a pass with one of them driving and you in the car watching to see what you kind of need to do.
p.s. no launch assist?
Its got more for sure. My 60’ was 2.0 on that pass. I granny shifted it and just drove of the line. Next time out I’ll have lightweight wheels and fresh tires and will go after the 60’ some.
Just revisiting this thread guys. I know I’m late to the party but looking at installing the JHM kit on my late 2008 S5 4.2. Anyone who’s done this got any tips/suggestions for me?
Floor it. Often.
Welcome bigal.
The JHM kit is one of the best kits out there. And the S5 kit seems to be one of the best JHM kits for the Audi as its set up a little different then the other JHM kits. You have the intake pulling in fresh air right at the bumper. Thats AWESOME and blowers love tons of fresh air.
As for suggestions. Consider pulling your fuel injectors out and getting them cleaned and flow tested. Or even contact JHM and see if they have any injectors they have cleaned and tested. The S5 and the V10 5.2 I believe have very similar injectors and the V10 guys have exposed how bad the injectors can be and get. If you havent done a carbon clean in a while that is a good time to pull the intake send out the injectors and do the carbon clean.
Are you stock otherwise.
