From what I've read, it seems like the Dinan mods are very much dependent on airflow at real world speeds which cannot be replicated by most fans used for dyno testing. The large HVAC fan Dinan uses in their facility is probably the best. Perhaps do some runs against a stock car with the same tranny and see how you do.

My Ride: '07 550i with SP, Nav, Logic7
OK, I've scheduled an appointment next Friday for a post-Dinan dyno. It's time to stop rely on my butt-dyno and get some real numbers.

Before everyone jumps on the bandwagon and start trashing Dinan, it's important to say that I'm very pleased with the result regardless of dyno number. As stated on previous thread, I could live without the CAI but highly recommend Stage3 and throttle body since they improve drivability.
I already said this to members who PMed me for advice, "Do Stage3 + throttle body, skip the CAI".

This makes sense. According to Dinan, the CAI take advantage of ram-air effect so airflow is important.

I have the Dinan intake on my 545i and it only gained like 2-3 hp. I'm sure with their "real world" dyno it will gain what they say it gains. I've heard that their dyno is CRAZY.
