Hi, I own a 2009 S5 V8. I was bitten by the record breaking bug. JHM's S5 has the fastest All Motor record with bolt on's. And I want to bring it home. Lol
There's only one company I trusted to take on the challenge. Caste system performance.
James Castellano and the guys of CSP are nothing short of amazing. I asked and he delivered. Here's the rundown of the work they put in.

The is a breast, just like James said it would be. Caste System performance pored their harts into this car. Just like they do on all their customer's rides.
Without setting the suspension up and with winter tires the S5 ran 13.2@104! Now fully setup it should go into the 12's.
I enjoy a launching at 5600 rpms time after time. The exhaust sounds amazing. Then when I open up the cutout ,it's sounds epic. At shows, crowds wait to see if I'm gonna do another all wheel burnout. It's great.
This S5 almost feels like it's rear wheel drive thanks to the center diff upgrade.
There are times when I come up with an idea in the middle of the night , send James a message so he could get back to me when ever he can. And to my surprise he answers back. Who does that's? The way I've seen CSP dedicate themselves to their customers, is nothing short of amazing.
CSP did their job, it's my turn to show what this car can do.
If anyone would like to see CSP's hard work in action, we will be at Waterfest in the Drag competition. Sponsored by Caste System Performance.
Then over the winter CSP will install JHM's stage 1 supercharger with a snow performance's water meth direct port kit. 034 Motorsport Engine Mounts, JHM's oil separator heater bypass, JHM's HPFP, and hopefully a water to air intercooler.
