Upgrading my 2016 Audi RS7 to Dyno Spectrum (DS1) software has completely redefined my expectations for performance tuning. Even with just their base 91 octane tune, the results were astonishing. I immediately saw gains of over 70 lb-ft of torque at peak, with a significant 30 lb-ft increase throughout the entire curve, and an additional 25 horsepower across most of the rev range. This improvement came from a tune that actually utilizes less boost, less aggressive timing, and safer knock control settings compared to my previous stage 2 tune!
Moving beyond basic stage 2 capabilities, DS1 unlocks возможности previously unavailable. I’m now exploring larger turbos and flex fuel options – enhancements that other tuning companies couldn’t accommodate, effectively limiting users to basic stage 1 or 2 configurations. The power increase is phenomenal; we’ve already reached 925 wheel horsepower, and there’s still untapped potential. The logging and tuning capabilities of the DS1 software are revolutionary for the RS7 market. Its high-speed multi-table logging and real-time tuning, whether live or remote, provide access to a comprehensive range of parameters, far beyond the limited, slow-sampling tables of older systems. This is truly a game-changer in OBD2 tuning.
With DS1 software, my car has become the world’s first genuine flex fuel RS7, seamlessly adapting to any blend of 91 octane and E85 ethanol. This on-the-fly adjustment eliminates the need for outdated OBD-2 flashing tools or cumbersome mobile dongles. I am no longer restricted by a tuning company’s limitations on modifying or upgrading my tune. DS1 gives me complete control to optimize performance with any hardware upgrades I choose. After years of stagnation in the market, the Audi RS7 platform finally possesses the OBD2 software and tuning capabilities necessary to unlock its full performance potential.
