Given most if not all other tests have not been on slicks, something may break on slicks, and most drivers will drive most of the time not on slicks…
It may be more useful to test on a wider street tire, or perhaps a DR. OTH, slicks would nix any deficient trap speed excuses. I'll be surprised if we see a trap speed on this car either way. |

We'll definitely be at the upcoming airstrip runs, as well as getting some times @ Moroso.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I know that the ECU will throw a shadow tuner code. I've also heard that the ECU sends that code to the to some sort of central BMW server and the owner will receive a letter from BMW stating their warranty is voided. not trying to be Debbie-Downer, but I just don't want you guys smashing us on the streets Last edited by Whateva; 10-09-2014 at 01:58 PM.. |

I brought up the topic with Terry a while back on his forum, and this is the conversation we had: TERRY: Due to the nature of how piggybacks work the DME is never aware of non-OEM boost or performance levels. But we're also not looking to be anyone's partner in warranty fraud. If you break something by adding a modification you should pay to repair it. That said map 1 is very mild and I don't foresee any reliability concerns with it. ------------------------- ME: I wasn't suggesting your goal is to hide modifications. But we all know that when a dealer knows of a mod, they too often take the easy route to blame the mod for any issues and deny warranty work, rather than truly diagnose the cause. That's why so many go on quoting the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, but in reality, that's not how things work. By not throwing codes, you're not giving them that excuse. But as far as tuning boxes not throwing codes, I'm a bit puzzled by that statement, as I'm almost positive (since I've been around the N54 tuning forums for 6 years plus) that they did, like the codes 2AAF (Fuel Pump Plausibility) and 2D25 (Mass Air Flow Excessive - External Tuning Box Detected), that were thrown, for which so many would buy the Bavarian Technic Cable Tool that you sell. It even says in its description on your website "Functions include reading/deleting extended codes, check engine light reset, tuner detection codes..." So how come you say that piggys don't throw codes, or that you're not interested in detecting them now? --------------------------- TERRY: I've not come across any codes with the S55. The JB4 includes the ability to read/delete codes when installed as Stage2. Let me know if you find any. |

Can't wait to see real world numbers on these beasts.
Impressive power out of a 3.0L, now if only that peak power could plateau for a bit instead of gradually dropping off. Could this be done through a different map? For drivability, it might be worthwhile to sacrifice the peak numbers for a more progressive powerband. GJ! |
