Today we made 275.7hp at KAR at the VWGTI club dyno day. Just wondering it that is a record for the S54 at the popular Snail/KAR hyperpower dyno's? That's 205kw on the wheels.

No i believe u made it on that dyno but in theory or on true dyno with no abient correction factor you will not get close to that figures!!

If i am wrong what mods have you done!! and what power do make in jhb???

Odr Dyno is a Dastek load dyno which is uncorrected.
Dynos are subjective but airflow the car makes is scientific!
205 kw on the wheels - Jhb

Hey bud, the car DID make 338hp on the wheels on an uncorrected Dastek dyno. It makes almost 60hp more than a stock E46 M3 does on that same dyno. We have dyno'd a a few stock M3's from 277 to 300hp on that dyno. It's for real, it was a dyno day and there were chipped E46 M3's making 300hp on the same dyno on the same day.

The car ran 13,6 at ODI a while back when it was making nowhere near the power it makes now.

My brothers stock z4 m made 322 on odr.
What mods does this e46 have xpower ?

The mods are the mastermind of Andre & Radz. Will have to get in contact with them for the exact details. But we will be going back to KAR soon to do some fine tuning. Unbelievably, we have not had the chance to make some altitude specific changes to the map yet. I rate we could squeeze a few more hp out of it.

My question was tongue in cheek .
I know what mods it has .
Alot of money has been Spent and if the car didn't make alot more than stock it would be a shame .
Would be great to see him beat the z4 m's time of 13.5 at odi .

In doesn't quite work like that. Radz hasn't even spent a lot of money to get there but we have all in the past spent lots of money and not got the returns. It isn't guaranteed that if you spend money, you will get gains. Especially not NA. Maybe you will learnt that soon.

The most important part of making power is getting the engine flowing more air &then making more efficient use of the exta air. Sometimes you you don't gain or you may even lose power with hardware changes. You need to spend lots of hours logging and tuning to reap the benefit. And Andre has been instrumental in piecing all the bits together to ensure the car makes power. It's not as easy as swiping your credit card and making power.

It would be great to see your chipped car beating his time as well. What you rate the chances are?

I am not in compettion with him , see I am in the 8a class and he his in the 6a
as such rads competes with him and I compete with you.
Man can't believe u still haven't worked out how these drag classes work.
And I would call 40k+ alot of money on mods .
Seeing as the cams come in at around 20k.
And I know how optimizing airflow works , I deal with frc .

I'm not worried about classes. I'm gonna be looking at the time on the boards. I don't think your "optimised airflow" will get you under 14.0. What's why I asked your opinion.
