Active Autowerke Z4M tune group buy interest thread.

For the people that said they ended up making the drive and getting the tune did you guys do a dyno?? The ess tune said 8-10HP for 800... Wondering if AA beats these numbers for that price and if so I'd be very interested.

mfanatic did a before and after dyno and got 27 whp out of the tune. Check out the "AA tune success" thread in the engine/exhaust/drivetrain mod section. I definitely felt a gain, although I'm not sure if it's 27 whp. Then again, the butt dyno is never accurate. I'd say the gains are comparable to the ESS tune.

If you guys want to get the ball rolling on this, call AA yourselves. Let them know you've got 20-something people chomping at the bit to get this tune, and none of them live near an authorized local tuner. Ask them for GB prices for 5, 10, 15, and 20 people.

ah thanks pokey, found it! Wow 27 RWHP is huuuuuge for our engines is it not? and for 500 thats gotta easily be the best performance mod for the buck....but your correct about the butt dyno... damn i wish more members had done a before/after dyno or if AA themselves had done it... nonetheless i am interested in a group buy..

haha I would still consider gearing to be the best bang for the buck. But yeah, according to the #'s put down on paper, this is a very close second if not on-par with shorter gearing

I'm going to be installing headers tomorrow (finally), and will dyno again after the holidays to see what the gains are. I'm expecting AT LEAST 20rwhp increase from the headers alone

can i be removed from the group buy list please, decided on going the supercharger route..

[VinnieAces]

Will be removing myself from the list...

Going a different route for the tune, thread revealing what company to arrive if success
