What type of dyno?
Also, I wouldn't mind doing the baseline before / after ECU tune... but don't our cars require some amount of miles driven before it adapts to the new tune? |

The shop use DynoJet 224x according to their website. This looks like a Corvette shop recommended to by my Indy.
Here is the link. http://www.gdperformance.com/index.php My understanding is you'll see immediate gain from tune. It will have little more gain after adaptation. |

I've already ran too many dynos for my car, and since I haven't done anything of significance, I'm going to save money on this and put it towards track days
I'm down to come out and check out everyone's cars though if you can get 15 or more cars together |

I'd be interested in a dyno, but only after the car has had time to fully adapt so I can see my final number. I'd like to do before/after evolve tune... but too many expenses and it's starting to add up.

I'm interested, just not right now, as it's prime track season (which gets my $$$s a the moment).
Sorry--I think it's a good idea in general! |

Having two sets of numbers from two cars with euro headers and cats would be great to see. Just have to convince marinb and we can also get numbers with welded on O2s to see if the cats make a difference.

I'm pretty easy to convince. If there is a day everyone is going, let me know and I'll try to make it.
I've got Fabspeed headers, cats with relocated O2, 4.10 gears, and evolve tune soon to come. I'm really interested to see the torque numbers with the 4.10's. =) |

The gearing won't show up on the dyno unfortunately. But you definitely feel them when you drive because essentially you're up higher on the rev-band faster, in comparison to setups with "longer" gearing.

Hijacking this thread, anyone know of a good shop that can update our ECU? From what I hear, all "tunes" are just tweaking some values/tables in the ECU, it's not all new software (this is why all tunes are "adaptable" because they're using the bmw software that adapts). So for this reason it's probably a good idea to get the latest version of the ECU firmware before doing the tune. All dealerships around here seem to suck, but maybe someone "knows someone" (looking at you gferil).

And nevermind. Found someone at work that has the complete codebase and is going to update me for free. Which will update not only the DME but every other firmware module (lights? windows?) who knows. I'm happy
