You talking a tune or just the booster? Of course a tune will give more power.

I believe it changed but lets see the slips as they will tell the story.

Willing to bet there is something else and your 60' times are not even close to being the same.

We looked at that "tune" and it was god awful. I'm pretty sure it was a copy/paste job and sold as a "tune".

Tom knows his stuff and he went through hell to get his car back to 100% after falling victim to the CoW.

Please do a search under threads I posted and you will see my 60' times are the same and I used the same tires out back as I did stock. I went into detail of my before and after, posted the slips for you to see.

I did the entire Chuck tune/booster setup and love the results more for daily driving than I do at the 1/4.

I know you race and thats why I asked.

Similar 60' isnt going to give the same results. Even like you know, a .05 change is a .1 of a second. Also the time of year and DA.

The engine tune is what did it.....NOT the booster.

IIRC there was enough of a DA difference to account for at least .2 seconds and an exhaust change too.

Engine and A6 tune did it not the booster, the booster is great for around town, spirited driving and when you need to downshift for passing

The cow booster is a great mod....

Over two years and glad I had it installed.

For those that don't have it...never tried it ...your loss.

So pushing the pedal down faster gives you more power?

Why not just add a toggle switch on the steering wheel? When you want to go faster you flip the switch one direction and to get instant WOT and when you want to go slower you flip it the other direction.

OP, his is an A4. That means 4 speeds vs. 6 speed transmissions.

Only corvette drivers with real money can afford this tune, so you poor corvette owners go back to the ford forum. These are the guys that squak about gas prices also.
Only real men with money can afford Chuck Cow tunes.

That really bothers me. The definition of a real man is not what he can afford.

If anyone thinks the booster gives them more performance they are welcome do to so but show some real data. There are variables with each result that are not spoke of.

Pretty easy to see through the BS with some people. They tell only part of the story and leave things out...intentionally.
