A good customer of ours wanted our stage 1 package on his M3 & he wanted the M3 dyno'd before & after. We used Stars dyno as it's gaining a reputation as a well respected institution.

We fitted an X-pipe of our design which removes all the catts & we flashed the car with a map to take advantage of this. We have done 8 M3's so far with this setup & they ALL gain around 40hp on the wheels. The graph below is of the 1st run on the dyno & the last. The operator actually printed the wrong runs. We wanted the best stock run vs the best modded run. 288hp was the 1st run stock with a cold drivetrain & dirty filter. We cleaned the filter, cleared the faults, warmed up the drivetrain & got it to make 304hp stock. So the gain is actually 40 wheel hp. I will get a new prinout with the best stock run as the baseline.

Thread revival ftw, what are the cars doing now with this combo 5 years down the line and I'm sure, lots of development has been done since

Most of the power is probably from the cat removal. Software has very small if any gains on a N/A car.

Well according to Autotrix at the time that I dyno'd it was only around 10hp more than what other stock cars had made previously:thumbs:

Im assuming that it was done at Autotrix Durban, as the OP mentioned "Stars dyno". But you're right Nikhil, those do look like JHB figures
