What Boost Should I Run? BMS Stage 1
I just got the tune, Whats the best setting to run daily on 93 octane? If it makes any difference Im also running full straight pipes. And, whats the best setting I should run on a mix of 110 octane mixed with 93?

I'm running 3.5 with full straightpipes and 93 Octane. Performance is great and no problems. BMS is solid.
How did I not know you were running full straightpipe?. Are you running RPi also or custom? Also, how come I've never seen video of your car before. I want to see and hear it! Lol!

Yeah the car pulls like the Space Shuttle pretty much. Haha! That's why I keep LOL'ing when people talk about Stock or modded M4's being able to beat the M5 either stock or modded in a straightline race. Just aint gonna happen. You know what, I do remember someone running catless downpipes with the Turner exhaust and Resonator Delete, I guess I forgot it was you. But yeah, 3.5psi and I've been running now for a few thousand miles with the tune, no problems. Car runs great and I'm confident that the stock ECU tune can compensate for the richer A/F Ratio no problem. Been running Catless Downpipes now for exactly 1 year and over 20,000 miles, not a single problem. I think I'm the only M5 owner in the world who has run catless that long. Most other people who have run catless for any length of time have probably sold their M5 or M6 by now. Lol! Yeah I need to get motivated on my next video too. I have all the good high quality sound and video equipment, just haven't been motivated.

I'm currently running 3.5 on days when I'm running against other cars.
Then I switch it back to 2.5 for daily driving Full catless GTHaus exhaust, AFE intakes No issues at all and car is driven very hard. Runs like a champ !! |

Well if that's the case I should not have a worry. We ran from the redlight once and I won but just barely barely. I did not load up the turbo either as it was a last minute thought. I didn't even have my foot in the gas. But I had beat a 11-12 yr shelby w no problems. This new one I do give respect to as it is faster than I thought. I wouldn't mind owning one or the new Pontiac trans am yr 15 w over 625 hp. Tyler I'll report back as soon as possible.

I'm running 4psi day n night with 98ron n 1bottle of +6ron octane booster for every fill up, last night got a race with another m6 so I pour 2 bottle into a fill up n up boost to 4.5psi. While in 4th gear I got a few cylinder misfire ended with a lot of fault code n check light. But after awhile the car was OK.

Ok, just got on the tune, decided to start with 3. Did some runs up to 160 and the car feels solid... Can't really notice much of difference though LOL. But, it definitely feels much much stronger from 40-60 pulls. Hopefully it adapts more, if I get any races this week Ill up it to 3.5 and add some 110 .
