    S3 V S4 power graph

    When I bought the S4, I was looking to try and compare the power against my remapped S3. I couldn't find any power charts at the time, but soon as I drove an S4, I knew it just felt stronger across the whole rev range. I thought it would be a good idea to get the S4 on the rollers, and see...
