And BTW Dinan is one tuner whose products I would never buy. There stuff is way overpriced and their customer service sucks. There are other chip makers out their who give more bang for the buck. Is Dinan still cutting up the OEM BMW mufflers removing the insulation and rewelding them and charging 3 times the dealer price for their free flow mufflers?
And as always you modify the driver first and when you are as fast as the car then you do mods! $1000 in labor would have paid for a few drivers' schools. Have you timed the car on the track or autox course because the butt dyno is very unreliable unless it involves a hot female in a pair of jeans that takes hours to get off, bubba! Then rev it up.
I have actually installed products that showed nice gains on a chassis or engine dyno but were actually slower at the track.
And dont forget you have to pass a visual emissions for safety every year and I dont think VA has gone to two years yet. They will look under the hood.
Lot of money for what maybe a claimed 30rwhp and you having emissions issues?
