Hey guys, been a long time since ive posted...

Anyways recently I got my car dynoed at a dynojet about 30 minutes away and its safe to say that im happy. Performance-wise ive added dinan cf intake, aa gen3 cb, aa software, and ltw flywheel (I know it doesnt add hp, just more to the ground).

My best #'s ended up to be:
225.2rwhp
226.7rwtq

Stock it dynoed @ 209rwhp, 210rwtq

Its got 101,521 miles on it and hopefully this summer I can get my tranny replaced (2nd gear synchro out), m50 manifold, eyeball arms, underdrive pulleys and a new headunit to replace the stock no-display unit.

If Im not too lazy later on, ill get around to scanning the sheet, pretty smooth curves that cross at about 5250rpm.

i only pulled about 215 on mine w/ a dinan cai, cb, stage II software, lightweight flywheel and ssk. it was a mustang dyno as well.

however i do know i was really in need of an oil filter cleaning, looked like it had about 20k miles of dirt on it. and my tires were about 15 lbs under the max psi.

your numbers look great.

15 whp/tq for roughly a grand?....hmm.. i dont know. That comes down to about $67 per 1whp/tq .. that seems kind of expensive. Not knocking your car, just m3's in general.

It's not about peak numbers. It's about the area under the graph. Also remember OBDII is very hard to eek out large hp gains without going either standalone or FI.

It's true that that kind of sucks, but it isn't a turbo car (my friend put a turbo back exhaust on his s40, gained 60rwtq) and OBDII is restrictive especially for NA. Even though its only 15rwhp, it feels like more just because of its NA and I feel the increases throughout the rpm band.

Thanks for the positive comments guys.
