Upgrading my 2016 Audi RS7 to Dyno Spectrum has completely redefined my expectations of performance tuning. Even with just their base 91 octane tune, the dyno results were astonishing, far exceeding what I had anticipated. The gains were immediately noticeable and frankly, quite breathtaking.
Massive Performance Gains on the Dyno with Base Tune
The initial dyno runs with Dyno Spectrum’s base 91 tune revealed an increase of over 70 peak awtq (all-wheel torque). What’s even more impressive is that 30 of that torque gain is sustained throughout the entire curve, delivering a significantly more responsive and powerful driving experience across the rev range. Furthermore, we saw a consistent 25 awhp (all-wheel horsepower) increase through most of the RPMs. This power jump was achieved with a tune that actually uses less boost, less aggressive timing, and safer knock settings compared to my previous stage 2 tune. It’s a testament to the efficiency and sophistication of the Dyno Spectrum software.
Beyond Stage 2: True Potential with Advanced OBD2 Tuning Solutions
Moving beyond the impressive base tune, Dyno Spectrum truly sets itself apart by unlocking capabilities that were previously unattainable with other tuning solutions. I’m now venturing into bigger turbos and flex fuel modifications – areas where other companies’ OBD2 tuning options simply couldn’t provide adequate support, leaving enthusiasts stranded at basic stage 1 or 2 levels. The power we’re achieving now is simply insane. We’ve already hit 925 awhp and are confident there’s still more untapped potential to explore.
The logging and tuning capabilities of the DS1 software are in a different league. It’s light years ahead of anything else available for the RS7 market. We’re talking about true high-speed multi-table logging and real-time live or remote tuning. The accessibility to virtually every parameter is game-changing, not just limited access to a few slow-sampling tables or basic adjustments that you often find with standard OBD2 tuning tools.
Revolutionizing RS7 Tuning with Flex Fuel via OBD2 Port Access
With Dyno Spectrum software, my Audi RS7 has become the world’s first true flex fuel RS7. This means I can seamlessly run on anything from 91 octane pump gas to E85, or any ethanol blend in between, with the system self-adjusting on the fly. This eliminates the outdated and cumbersome process of using external OBD-2 flashing devices or mobile dongles. I’m no longer confined by a tuning company that restricts modifications or upgrades to their tune. DS1 gives me complete control to optimize for any hardware upgrades I choose to install. After years of stagnation in the market, the Audi RS7 platform finally has the software and comprehensive OBD2 tuning capabilities to truly unlock its full potential.
