Even Audi's 3.0T engine that's supercharged can be tuned to squeeze out a lot more power, and I at first thought that superchargers didn't leave much on the table, only turbos did, but looks like that's not the case with that engine!
Well my last car was N/A but I added a supercharger. It was quite fun and VERY reliable. Oh and might I mention 70K miles and it NEVER saw the dealer.

Next on my personal list is a c6 z06. For those who know me I've been talking about it for years even before I bought my BMW. Hopefully next year

My HPFP and Injectors were never changed, so i am going to the dealer on Tuesday to take care of those, hoping that will solve it.

Also, my Spark Plugs have not been changed, so i am changing those this weekend.

Any other advice?

Ill post my results.
That should be it.
