Look forward to the info on the blower kit.

But have to ask, what is being done to manage fuel?

And the dyno doesn't make sense to me. The car only put down 230whp on a chip? I guess I am not seeing the gains in the graph. Corrected engine hp around 330hp according to the graph - that is crank hp right?
+1 I was staring at the dyno for like 20minutes and couldn't figure it out. i see that there are definitely a good gain but not sure what was the before hp and after hp were.
I'm in a market for the software since I lost the dinan stage 3 after getting MP3 retrofitted November last year.

Yeah. Roman, can you just give us the actual numbers?

What's max and peak gains for hp and torque?

As for jprovence's question on why the low hp number to the wheel, it all depends on the type of dyno used. Looks like this was done on a Maha dyno and I'm not sure how that compares relative to other dynos out there. I do know that a Dyno Dynamics usually reads really low compared to a Dynojet.

How come you didn't have Dinan reflash your car? I believe it's free or about half an hour of labor if you're doing it at a BMW dealer that's an authorized Dinan dealer.

The dyno shown is a MAHA dyno. It is the same dyno BMW uses to rate HP/TQ in their cars. The chart shows HP and TQ gains at the crank in 90+ deg temps. Average gains are 15-20 hp and ft/lb tq depending on fuel quality.

Did I just see a dyno of a BMW V8 at 233whp?

Read my post above about how different dynos have different readings and don't jump to any conclusions.

As an example, an M5 on a Dyno Dynamics read around 380-390whp yet it'll read around 420-430whp on a Dynojet.

Apparently, that's what I understood on this dyno. And it's manual transmission on top of that(it says manual transmission on top right hand corner). I know every dyno is different but it's still painful to see 233whp on V8

So the car you dyno'd had somewhat less than 300 hp before (below factory spec) and 320 after, correct?

How come you keep skipping all the pricing and numbers questions
