BUMP.

C'mon peeps, aren't the stock e60s curious what their baseline numbers are before the modding starts? And for the modded e60s, it'll be nice to compare numbers and find out what mod makes the most hp.

That is a great price! I would have jumped on it too...actually why can't someone on the east coast offer this kind of deal?

I didn't know there were issues to dyno a steptronic

The dyno pull is in 4th gear from about 1500 rpm to redline.. As the Steptronic approaches redline it'll upshift and in doing so it will skewer the exact horsepower and torque numbers. Nevertheless, it's still possible to dyno the Steptronic to measure the increase in power between the pre and post scoop installation.

i would, but as i stated before...i was already there with the intent of getting a dyno done after a few mods, but both Eloy and i decided not to go ahead with it since my step automatically kicks down - thus not getting "true" results.

with all that said, if i'm free and around the area....i may pass by. did we pick a date?

Socal E60,
Pick a date for a dyno day at RPI. The dynamometer that is used is a Dyno Dynamics aka "Heartbreaker" dyno. When you see your hp and torque numbers, you'll know why it's called the "Heartbreaker" dyno. It certainly broke mine.

Here is their address and contact number:
7209 Marcelle St, Paramount CA
562-630-5966

The cost will be $50/car with 10 people or $75/car with 5 people. Each car will get a minimum of 4 pulls. These prices are cheap compared to other shops which charge about $100 for 3 pulls. Pick a date and add your name to the list!

1. VT
2. keang24
3.johny641
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
I will be there and im coming with one of my friends with an e93 m3 former m5 member tightie, I have a 535 with procede vishunu stage ii and remus quad exhaust. Hope to see some good numbers.
