I built a 12.5:1 438w for my old mustang. tonight ithe new owner ran a 9.63 on motor on 93 octane pump gas. so it can be done. now if the tank would have been full of 110 he would have bumped the timing and ran some 9.30's

High Tech equals High Cost
Hey Lowend,
All that Audi high tech stuff is fine until the repairs come up. We have a 6 year old A4 4 cyl all wheel drive in our shop at the moment that has a transmission fault when it's hot. It has a C.V.T.with the computer in the oil pan and here in Australia there are no parts available. Audi's answer is a replacement unit at $19k plus fitting and it has expensive oil too. Cant see why the engine would be any different.(Ouch)
Long live build yourself engine combos. It is affordable fun and even if the Audi wins they dont have the style of the old muscle cars.
Merry Christmas car dudes and I hope to have the old 68 camaro going in '08

High Tech equals High Cost part 2
Lowend,
I forgot to add
The mileage indicated was 137.000k's which is about 80.000miles near enough. The average guy in our country probably afford to replace/recondition the engine if it lost coolant!!
Anyway loves you allIt's hard to be sincere with a poor memory
