    You could always go this route: https://blog.1aauto.com/2003-audi-rs6-ls1-engine-swap/

    In all seriousness, one of these "big hp" threads from a new owner pop up on a semi-regular basis so we're all a bit salty. I'd honestly love to see someone mod the hell out of one of these cars but to my knowledge it hasn't been done yet because of what everyone here is saying. If you do attempt it, please post a bunch of pics. It would be fun to watch!

    I saw that before on ls1tech. I had consider it since I'm pretty familiar with LS but the car is fully functional so to me it doesn't make sense.

    And yea I notice that, I couldn't tell if it's purist mentality or something else. And I'll try not to disappoint.

    On a side note what do you guys use to data log? Looking to make some comparison.

    I don't think there are any other viable options.

    +1. It's my observations having worked on three different cars in varying levels of capacity that the challenge isn't the hand assembled Cosworth engine. It's the physical volume limitations. MOST owners will not go to insane levels of modification to adjust the physical parameters of the compartment, or the configuration of the engine and it's components. At least not owners that drive this car. Yes this car is the Devil in sheep's clothing and an Autobahn speedboat, but it's far from a track star.

    I can easily modify the power output in my turbo Buick by running different turbo(s), along with other bolt-ons. I can also go to the extremes of fabricating something insane and still be further ahead because at least I had space....

    If you don't already own a C5 RS6, then I think you first need to take a look at the space limitations before you pour your heart and sole in to thinking this is the route you wish to go. Long time members have all heard and seen the same optimism and excitement time over again and again.
    '02 S6 Avant Silver - Pokey | Carbon Black/Ebony RS6 w/ stuff - darn quick | '03 Daytona Grey/Ebony RS6 w/ more stuff - quicker yet | '91 NSX CDN issue with 6spd & BBSC - quicker yet and then some | '87 Buick GNX OEM clone w/ lots of stuff - quickest hands down
