OE tuning dyno results

************************************************** ************************************************** ************************************************** *************************

Okay everyone... This is getting pretty deep. I am the OP for the thread and I am aware of the situation at hand. I do think Mike's offer from PC is great. However I hate to be in the middle of the situation where someone gets hit with a bad reputation of something close to negative press. I just being in the middle.

As a consumer and active member of this forum, I want to express that I am not associated with either oe or pc. I am just a m3 enthusiast. However as a consumer I do want to know what my car's true potential is.

Mike did make a good point in his message to me. Mike states that Jeremy can be an active participant and be on location to retrieve his tune on my car so no one can see it or have access to it. To me that seems like a fair proposition.

I do want my car running safely at it's highest potential. I am not a rookie when it comes to cars and know dyno tampering can be done easily without notice to others.

With that said ... If mike and Jeremy or whoever at the respected companies can come to an agreement about terms of the testing so no one has access to the other's tune, I would happily participate.

It seems to me that gaining access to the other tune is a big issue so...

If there is an agreement of terms. Let's do it.

Thoughts??

************************************************** ************************************************** ************************************************** *************************

a few weeks back I got a new OE tuning tune.

I previously had another competitors tune...and well...the results speak for themselves.

The car drives amazingly. The power is 100% noticeable and my first acceleration pass after leaving the facility made me call them and say another special thanks for the great tune.

I am very happy with the work and results.

Other mods are a full akra evo and afe stage 2 intake ( newer version), rpi scoops. Future plans will include a pulley and perhaps a catless set up but not too sure yet.


Thanks OE tuning, Alpine, Gintani...

Here's a sheet.

Note: please do not make this a peak power number issue. I know the DD normally reads low but the gains are the real issue here.

Other cars that day were reading low numbers as well.

Let me guess you got the PC "off the shelf" tune. Looks like you made 0 power with that one.

Wow! I assume the low whp readings are because of DD's new firmware?

No but if you don't want to send your computer out and you want to make a ride up here to NY, I can hook you up with JJ from OETuning/Gintani. There's a shop here in Poughkeepsie NY that JJ owns you can get a tune or a shop in long island he can meet you at for custom dyno tuning. Pm me if you want more info or JJ's number.

What were Jeremy's thoughts on the AFE Stage 2 intake? I've been meaning to ask him if I need a retune since adding mine.

Sorry wish I could help you out better there =)

I would suggest that there are other factors at play. I would suggest that the workshop call us so we can diagnose if there are any problems
