Lol maybe, strap your car on the dyno next week. Will be a fun mini meet lol. Darron will show up again. I'll try to get a few more people.
Haha yeah I'm okay with the result, works or not. Figured I may contribute something to the community
Lol, maybe the 2 stickers I have on my car! 5whp each remember????
Thanks bro
Lol the guys there were impressed with my number vs the E9X M3. A couple of their customers that came with their E92 M3 were quite puzzled with my 404whp and 382wtq with just headers and exhaust. They are used to see 250+wtq from their beloved E9X M3
Yep, we came to a well known BMW shop to educate lol! Employees were all pretty cool there though. Although the BMW M customers weren't very talkative toward us two F owners 
Pretty typical M owners. I have met and personally known a few nice E9X onwers too so they are not all bad; just many are.
Thanks Lou, I think my light weight wheels/tires and 2 piece Racing Brake rotors has something to do with the slightly higher readout than Darron's car. On my best run, I was constantly 10whp and 10+tq more across the rev than Darron.
Hahaha, Josh said you have a dry sense of humor and personality; yet he still fail to recognize sarcasm from you!
Will report back in a week! Installed the tune right away when the car came off the dyno. Will give it a few days of aggressive driving to see if my butt dyno can sense anything
My pleasure
Yet very true! I gotta say though the E9X Ms are much more reliable, not as much as the F; but well better than the rest of their lineups
Wednesday seems too far away lol
Thanks bro

Mine with HiFlow Cats and PPEs Dual Mode exhaust produced close to 393HP the other F also has PPE headers, the JoeZ exhaust and no cats produced just over 399 HP. Torque, however, was in the 365 to 370 lb ft range.

JoeZ is a quality piece, but there are alternatives.
He also runs light weight rotors which decrease rotational mass, and have been shown to increase HP on a dyno.

Khoa, any chance you could give us a "day-by-day" update?
If you actually feel something (which you should for a 30hp/tq increase) let us know!
I have faith one of these tunes will eventually work!

Haha yeah my ears are still ringing!
Thanks guys
Yep my wheels and tires are 8+ lbs lighter than stock plus 4.5 lbs on the 2 pieces rotors per corner. Even with a few HP lost with 107k miles on the ODO, my rotational mass is so much lighter so it is expected to put up better number than other F on the same dyno. Throttle respond is much better too, as many other owners that have driven my car
350ft or so
Last night after work, it pulled a bit harder than before according to my butt dyno. This morning, not so much
Explained above
Yep, my rotational mass is much less than stock. It is expected given both cars are healthy
Thanks guys
Explained above
