It says on their website that its 680hp after the tune and after reading here and noticing they rate the stock hp at over 600+, just wondering how much WHP i will end up getting?

Also their upgrade is with intake and exhaust, some more unknowns to what you're actually getting from just a tune.

As much as you say apples and oranges id like to see some proven gains from fellow users. Since you've done so many dinan stage 1's get some dynoed would love to see some numbers to compare. Thanks man! |

Upgraded Dinan Stage 1 Installed
Got my car back this afternoon with the upgraded Stage I Dinan tune. Played around some on the freeway, and the car is amazing, but numbers tell better stories than the 'butt dyno', so I'll be at the Ennis dragstrip Saturday night for Ultimate Street Night. Weather forecast shows 89 degrees Saturday, but lower humidity, so I'm hoping it will cool off enough at night that the ECU lets all the power flow. I don't have drag radials, so I expect plenty of wheel spin. The 'proof' of the tune will be in the trap speed. My best run without any Dinan tune was 119.3 mph (done in May). I also went to the strip immediately before and after having the Stage 1 tune installed in August. Weather conditions were lousy (over 95 degrees and humid) and heat soak was an issue:
Before: 12.4 @ 117mph After: 12.0 @ 121mph I'll post the numbers after Saturday night. Hopefully it will be cool...

Looking forward to Hawkeye's review on the track as well. Hoping the weather cools down a bit for you. It definitely has here on the west coast recently. |

So I cant get that info for you. It does not benefit me to drive over an hour to a reputable dyno facility. And just to clarify as I always put in my posts is that the HP gain "feelings" are seem pretty equal to what around 3.5 is on BMS. Its the overall drivability/smoothness that Dinan exceeds when compared to the BMS. That you can tell a huge difference |

In the mean time Terry sent me a new firmware and let me tell you the car feels awesome and the smoothness is there as you described comparing Dinan and BMS. Here's a log before and after you can see how much smoother the torque comes in. Should make some great gains do to the smoothed torque and coming across the board. For those who have BMS you need to try the new firmware before you switch I think you will be impressed. Going to Dyno this week to compare to my last Dyno pull. Also need to get to a track and see if launching will be smoother and helping with a better 60ft. Good job T car feels great. Now for some dinan and BMS comparisons in power and smoothness. Can't wait to see some with some real data. Last edited by m6beast; 10-22-2014 at 12:38 PM.. |

What is the procedure for updating the firmware ? And before the M5/M6 application was officially released and BMS had everyone use their N63 application is there an issue updating or using that setup ? I have the N63 setup..that's why I'm curios and I live in CA so I cant purchase the S63 harness. Almost feel BMS should offer a trade in for the customers that were not offered the S63 kit due to not being ready. I hear that the S63 kit has more features as well |

Mine is a stage 2 meth intergration. He sent me a new firmware through email and I uploaded it. Then changed a parameter and off I went. The car needs a couple pulls to smoothen out but what a difference. Not sure how it will perform at the track but we will see. I'll keep you in the loop. |

I still have my old board but like I said been using stage 2. I'm pretty sure will work with firmware upgrade maybe Terry can chime in. If terry sends me the firmware upgrade for stage 1 to do a before and after run at the track with my customers M5 that wil be some great data to show as well. That way I have some data for stage 1 and stage 2 meth intergration. |

Just talked to Terryhave to send him some logs from my customers stage 1 first then will decide wether or not it will work. So maybe a couple of days for me to run my customers car. Will let you know once I have some data.

I emailed BMS today regarding software updating etc. and their reply was "If and any updates you can find them on N54tech.com". And that was it. Kinda the usual cut and dry reply I've always received from them. Last edited by EuroKar; 10-22-2014 at 05:13 PM.. |
